In this work, I focused on the phenomenon of "becoming a painting." In addition to pasting a complex digitally created image and a magazine page onto the surface of a standard wooden panel as a support for painting, I thought that I could create a "painting" by carving with a carving knife while being conscious of painting with a brush, so I used transfer and carving. In addition, I was conscious of the presence of the wooden panel as an object, in contrast to the lightness of the transferred image, so I filled the wood with putty and sanded it, creating a part that becomes a frame in a sense as part of the work.

About the image: I used a poster I made myself (which references the eyes of Mima, the protagonist in Satoshi Kon's "Perfect Blue") that I had left as a material in my studio without turning it into a work of art, and a page from an advertisement in a magazine called LIFE from several decades ago that I picked up at random from my bookshelf. As it is a magazine, it naturally has a back side, so by transferring it and leaving some parts to be peeled off and others to be left in place, the front and back sides are visible. The back side is an advertisement page for some product with a child's face on it, and the front side (not much left as it has been almost completely peeled off) is thought to be an advertisement page with a picture of a glass. As the title suggests, this work represents coordination using junk items. Because I transferred junk items, I was able to carve it out as if I was painting with a brush, blurring the boundary between the paper and the wood.

Why do we do complex things? By doing complex things, we can see how the properties of things are balanced, how they give an impression, and how they break (or change into something else). We can also see or find expressions of the stages in which things change.

The order of production is to apply medium to the surface of the plywood, press the junk onto it → when the medium is completely dry, peel off the back of the junk to reveal the printed surface → attach a wooden frame → carve → process the texture of the screen with medium (including mixing paint) → putty (including mixing paint) on the sides and process the texture by sanding. Putty is a common building material that becomes invisible once the piece is finished, but I purposely use it on the sides as part of the work (part of the paint). I also mix paint into the putty to add color.
