制作物のコンセプトを記載してください。
These were the series of work I made after the year-long lockdown in London. I revisited my library of collection from my travels and residues from my first year of making at the RCA prior to the pandemic. Putting these fragments from my past into new compositions is likened to making a collage out of a lost and found diary. Each bit comes with a story; together they form a mysterious inner landscape of water droplets sitting in the form of blown glass.
As Ursula Le Guin said in The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, "before the tool that forces energy outward, we made the tool that brings energy home...our ancestors’ greatest invention was the container: the basket of wild oats, the medicine bundle, the net made of your own hair, the home, the shrine, the place that contains whatever is sacred. The recipient, the holder, the story. The bag of stars." -

特別賞のテーマにどう作品が関連しているか説明文を記載
This series of work was made after the year-long lockdown in London. Many artists like myself have paused their primary practice due to a lack of access to facilities and/or tudio space. I tried various alternative materials to keep making in order to pull the threads of my thoughts together. I revisited my library of collection from my travels and residues from my first year of making at the RCA prior to the pandemic. Putting these fragments from my past into new compositions is likened to making a collage out of a lost-and-found diary. Each bit comes with a story; together they form a mysterious inner landscape of water droplets sitting in the form of blown glass.
As Ursula Le Guin said in The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction, "before the tool that forces energy outward, we made the tool that brings energy home...our ancestors’ greatest invention was the container: the basket of wild oats, the medicine bundle, the net made of your own hair, the home, the shrine, the place that contains whatever is sacred. The recipient, the holder, the story. The bag of stars." It was a moment of inward investigation, it's poetic and fundamental to our survival.

'lost paradise' is a series of (continuing) work I made after the year-long lockdown in London. I revisited my library of collection from my travels and residues from my first year of making at the RCA prior to the pandemic. Putting these fragments from my past into new compositions is likened to making a collage out of a lost and found diary. Each bit comes with a story; together they form a mysterious inner landscape of water droplets sitting in the form of blown glass.
