Dear Ikeda, a job well done. Amazing work, uplifting. Is it installed in a public park?

Your work in progress will be even better. I like the message, and I like that it speaks in universal terms. How big the installation? Is the painted column part of the installation? Keep carving, you're one of the best.

[logworkikeda]

yes.I held a private exhibition in a public institution.

There is such a work at the port.



As for the private exhibition, there is not already the work in the meeting place because it was over.

I do not understand when "memory of the soil" is completed.
I push forward production today because it is a holiday.

Though I should be busy, I make such a work.

I use the wing of the wooden sculpture and acrylic wooden putty.

[Erika Takacs]

Interesting idea. Is that a wood panel you used? And how did you secure the wing to it? I used the same idea with clay before, and used glue, which didn't seem to bond the clay strongly enough. Or so I thought.
I was thinking to insert wire into the clay piece, then drill some holes for the wire, so that I can secure it on the back side.

to erika.

yes.i used wood panel.
From the backside of wood panel, I drive a screw

Is not cray heavy?.Because there was an air bubble inside, I thought that the acrylic Wood putty would be light.

I thought that I used the gypsum, but I thought that I was fragile and did not use it.
Of course I insert a stainless steel wire of 0.5mm.

Not that heavy, but heavy enough to worry me.
Are you going to paint the work? Looking forward to the finished piece.

[logworkikeda]

Time touching the material is the happiest.
But there is it even at the time of suffering at the same time.
I painted with a color. However, it was a very serious thing.

I cannot photograph it neatly.
I intend to paint with a red color on a wing from now on.

Wow! Very beautiful!

[Erika Takacs]

It's shaping up beautifully. I don't know what acrylic wood putty is, but I see you can build it up nicely. I'll try and look up some info on it.
I can see you will paint blood on the wings. The circles have become threatening black holes. Are the wings representing the artist?

[logworkikeda]

sorry. I do not think that this work is beautiful.But I think that to be beautiful is not art at the same time.

I cannot leave it when I stand before this work.In "the microcosm" which myself totally created, myself be
eathed in.I am Perplexity very much.
Therefore I think that the energy that work in itself emits is strong.Do you have you think strength of the energy to be beautiful?



In putty for woodwork, there are acrylic and epoxy.The epoxy is very high price. But it is easy to treat it.putty of the acrylic is soft with solution.

The color of the blood expresses life and death, both.The life and death are one and indivisible.I intend to use red to express strength.
thank you.

You know some things get lost or misinterpreted because of the mechanical translation software. Beautifully meant "progressing very well" in this instance. I would use the word powerful if I had to describe the effect of the work on me. Despite of the shortcomings of translation, I think I understand your explanation about your relationship to the work.
