「MONO-SOLUM ―土が辿り、土が描く 再生された土の記憶を辿るアートピース」
白亜紀の大地に端を発し、幾千年の時を積み重ねてきた備前の土その記憶を、土は静かに内に抱き続けてきました
やがて窯人 ( かまびと ) の炎がその深い眠りを揺さぶり、土は自らの記憶に導かれるように、唯一無二の表情を描き始めます
MONO-SOLUM
モノ / 単一の、ソルム / 土・土壌
備前の土が語る沈黙の物語
過去と未来のあわいに佇むこの断片は、空間に静けさと深みをもたらし、訪れる人の心に、時を超えた記憶をそっと響かせます
“MONO-SOLUM – Traced back and molded anew“
This is art informed by recollection–a resuscitation of primordial wisdom stored within the earth, born once more. A thousands-year slumber disrupted by the flame of the kiln’s keeper unleashes the echoes of Cretaceous period clay. The result is the advent of an unprecedented visage seemingly materialized by the earth’s own tacit accord.
MONO-SOLUM
—from the Latin mono (one) and solum (soil, earth)
The bizen-yaki clay’s chronicle is conveyed without a word. Liminal fragments interposed between past and present bring about a decided quietude and depth to their surroundings, and their timeless story, while unspoken, resonates with those who would behold them.
MONO-SOLUM contains material derived from broken ceramic fragments — shards that once belonged to unfinished works in the hands of Bizen potters, now returned to the earth and reborn as clay. Having already passed through fire once,
this soil holds a more complex texture, a deeper memory —a ground that carries the silent weight of a thousand years.
Though its form may change with every transformation, the genealogy of Bizen endures. Reborn as a new expression that connects past and future, this work traces back to its own origins, as if remembering the place from which it once came.
