Eiko Miki

アーティストという肩書きより前に、
平和を願うアクティビストでありたいと思う。

旅を重ねて感じてきた世界。
人、文化、自然の多様性にインスピレーションを得て、
私が感じたことを書き留めるかのようにアートを制作している。

主に金槌を使って造形をする”鍛金”の技法を用いて、金属でできる自由な造形と糸や毛糸などの異素材を組み合わせ、頭の中に浮かんだ独自のイメージを形にする。

I mainly create metal pieces and I add some different materials such as thread and felt. I love to observe how nature all on its own forms subtleties and ultimately its own natural character. When working with metal, I try to recreate how the aspects of nature I see were brought into this world and then appear to us. The experience I want my work to impart is getting back in touch with nature through a perspective of nature.

The main theme often appearing in my work is the cycle of nature and all of the creature’s lives — to think about the importance of human imagination toward activities of nature, which have become difficult to see directly in the urbanized world.

Who we are and where we go, these are the questions that we forever ask ourselves, and I believe nature can teach us because it’s where we came from.

I continue to consider the real meaning of "abundance" in our lives and my art is the diary/record of my thoughts.
