From now on I am going to write this blog both in Japanese and in English.
真夏がやってきて1階の部屋で制作してます。今回新しい作品を大型の形に作りたいと自信を持って、いらなくなった展示台をカットし粘土台に使用しました。
Summer has come and I started working at the first floor (since it's cooler here). This time, I am challenging to make a larger piece, and started preparing for it. First I made a plate to make clay, by cutting up the old stand.
粘土が柔らかいようで時間をかけながらいくつかの骨組みを作り湿った状態の硬さになってから空洞につけて丁寧に仕上げます。
Because its humid, the clay is rather soft, so I formed very carefully and slowly, made several framings with clay, while the clay is a bit dry but still wet enough to mold.
