Meguro museum of Fine Art
August-September,2001

Everyone has their own individual sensitivity to art which has been nurtured by their personal history. Even if this sensitivity does not result in a concrete work of art such as a picture, a sculpture or a visual image due to a lack of technical skill, such artistic sensitivity is still very important. Is it possible to draw this sensitivity out of others to create a work of art?ª@That was my thought process. I will pose a question to draw out an image from memory (e.g. an image of a forest) like casting a pebble into a pond. I will then collect information from the image that emerges the ripples. Would it be an exaggeration to say that this activity offers a means of finding oneself and sharpening ones perception? It will be wonderful to observe the process of a work of art emerging from everyone's input. I think that, instead of a relationship between creator and audience where the artist creates a work, and it is reverently appreciated, I am seeking an active form of art that allows the artist to interact with the audience. I look forward to seeing how this work of art will develop between now and the end of the exhibition
