Throughout human history, the body has been regarded as a tool for the brain. Recently the IT revolution continues to deprive us of opportunities to use our body. Now the body may be losing even this position as a tool. In the first place, is the body a tool of the brain at all?' The brain & the body', both are compared using the binary opposition. It is always considered that the former is superior to the latter. But when we regard the brain is a part of the body, we can see another scenery based on the theory of deconstruction. We can listen to our body.
In order to see the true nature of the body in a new light, I have been making artworks which transmit my body's movements directly onto the paper as tracks of my action. In this series, I tried to express physical movement to reconsideration of our embodiment, almost like successive images created by high-speed photography.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, "Architecture is frozen music." Japanese philosopher Kitaro Nishida said, "Calligraphy is frozen music." Then I would like to say, "Calligraphy is a frozen action."

　長い間、身体は脳の道具のように扱われてきた。そして今、IT革命が脱身体を加速する中、身体は道具としての地位も失いつつある。そもそも身体は脳の道具なのか？「頭脳／身体」の二項対立は暗黙のうちに頭脳を優位にする。だが、頭も身体の一部と考えると脱構築の別の景色が見えてくる。身体の声が聴こえてくる。

　これまで私は身体に備わる力を再認識することを意図し、身体の軌跡を画面上にしるすことで作品としてきた。このシリーズでは高速連写のように身体の動きを捉え、体動のダイナミズムを描いている。

　ゲーテは「建築は氷結した音楽」と言い、西田幾多郎は「書は凝結せる音楽」と言った。そして思う、「書は凍結したアクション」ではないかと。
