A single piece from an iron pipe transforms into a new shape through heat and internal pressure warping its shape.
鉄パイプから切り出されたピースは熱と内部の応力より反り返り、新しい形に反化する。
The image of the vessel arises from that one piece.
鉄の器のイメージは、一片から始まった。
These pierced lotus leaf and chystanthemum form works are created by soldering individually cut triangular pieces of recycled pipe.
.
The heat of the soldering process causes rippling distortions of the metal.
I have to avoid this rippling and distortion as much as possible by limiting the areas where solder is used.
It is the slits that arise from this feature of the technique that create the unique beauty of this series.
