CAORI FUJITA
藤田 薫
彫刻家/ Sculptor.
人体、主に背中をテーマとして制作。
人と人との関わりの中で生まれる変化や相違、そうした曖昧で捉えきれないことを
自身では見ることのできない背中を用いて可視化しようとしている。
あなたの背中、それとも誰かの背中は、自分を映す鏡なのか。
背中は意識が向きにくく、無意識に感情が現れてしまう箇所ではないだろうか。
また、立体作品は、漆を使用する乾漆技法での制作を中心に他の素材と組み合わせている。
平面作品も同様に漆(色漆)で描き、作品によっては貝・金属粉等を使用している。
The human body, mainly the back, is the theme of her work.
She tries to visualise the changes and differences that arise in human interactions and the ambiguity and elusiveness of such things.
The artist tries to visualise these ambiguous and elusive things by using the back, which cannot be seen by the viewer.
Is your back or someone else's back a mirror reflecting you?
The back is a part of the body that is difficult to be conscious of and where emotions are unconsciously expressed.
For her three-dimensional works, she combines lacquer with other materials, mainly using the dry lacquer technique.
Her two-dimensional works are also painted with lacquer (coloured lacquer), and in some works she also uses shells, metal powder and other materials.
