Within everyone

Do you know anyone who does not know the core of toilet paper?

Welcome

I’m glad

If someone does not know the core

Because I have to explain from there

I am making art work using this core

Although the core is cut and connected

I use it to connect the cut core

It is sold on the market glue gun called

I am using what melts and welds like plastic

There are three rules for my art creation

One thing is not to color the core

There are quite various kinds in the core

It is brown or white

There are also things that say “Thank you” or letters

I use that kind of material as it is

And the second is that the cutting method of the core is decided

The core is cut from the crushed state

I decided to cut like this from the middle

And the maximum size is half

It is decided that the minimum size is 1/16 division

The third thing is to create creative not to put out garbage

There is also a thing called recycled art

Even in the place of dividing the core as before

If you measure and cut it, garbage will come out

I try to cut the core by the division method when possible

And I am making art by combining these leads

Maximum from 15 meters

And the smallest is the palm size

Such a thing

I’m showing you with a technique called installation art

Installation is one of modern art methods

It is a thing that captures the whole space as art

So, for example if the place changes

Even if the same works are displayed, how they look and feel is changing

It was my motivation to create art

It was a request from a certain friend

I would like you to display something in the space next to the main temple of the temple for one month

Because I am working on the design

My friend probably something that was there

I thought that she might exhibit it

Design job design I make homepage, flyers etc

We constantly create new things every day

In those days I

That’s why we create new ones and discard them

I felt very uncomfortable

And I got the opportunity

Rather than creating new things from new things

From what I have now

I started to think that I could create something new and something

that is

Although I got interested in the core of toilet paper

That’s exactly what

It was “Newton’s apple”

Do you all know Newton?

You know.

It is a much famous person than I am

Newton is said to have discovered universal gravitation by apple falling from the tree

But is it really so?

Look at the apple falling from the tree

“Ban Ein Ryuko!”

I do not think it was inspired by the form

Because I was studying gravitational everyday everyday

I was able to react to that natural apple falling from the tree

My toilet paper core core recycling art is the same as that

Toilet paper that enters your eyes even if you go to the toilet everyday

And the core of toilet paper that you take with you every time you exchange

And at one moment I suddenly thought with taking that core in my hand

Core

Just being a garbage if the paper is gone

The paper is made of sturdy stuff

And

The shapes are wonderfully rounded and the same things are available

When I picked up the core again

I thought that core was perfect

I began to think that I could do something with this perfect core

So I am in the world

I am making art using the core of toilet paper

I thought what kind of such work is there

I first saw it on the internet

Then

There were lots of things like craft and craft

For example, it is exhibited in solo exhibitions

After that there was none made as a work as art

Artists making art with core of toilet paper

I did not have one in the world

At the same time I was surprised when I noticed that

I thought that I noticed something interesting

Then I actually do art creation

Because there is no previous example like this

All I have to think about various things myself

Be surprised

I was impressed

There were a lot of things I was worried about

Around the time

I was talking about “recycled paper art”

For visitors

There is something told that “What kind of paper are you making?”

I decided to not paint the core color from the beginning

I thought it would be understood if it looked

Then my title

“Toilet paper core core recycling artist”

It has become a very long one

When I was invited to the Malaysian art festival in 2010

I have worked with the students of the local design school there

At that time I could not speak English at all

But I ask you to interpret so that every three rules will be obeyed

And then again with a gesture of hand gesture

I was able to make a work over two weeks

Without unknown words in the unknown land

When a wonderful work was created

I remember being very moved.

I thought at that time

Core of toilet paper

It is not so uncommon if it is an advanced country

And the art made from that core

Even if age and gender race and language change

It’s relatively easy to accept and it’s easy to impress

I am impressed with feeling close to the art

However, there was something I had troubled because it is such an art that I feel familiar

At one time I heard something like this

“What ah … it is not only cutting the core and sticking it

I can do it. “

The rest is “Wow awesome steak!

How do you make this? Say

Shoot with Pasha Pasha Pasha and Keitai

I wonder how it is getting ah Yes

“Sorry! How are you making this?”

please tell me! Sometimes I was told

It is very pleasant to be impressed

At that time

I thought that only the surface impression was transmitted

It’s been awfully why I did not

So then

Through art I

I thought what it would like to tell

Then I am not only impressed

By sympathizing with them and sharing them

I began thinking of continuing that feeling

I am moved by seeing art

And garbage and other things such as recycled items will become art

I sympathize with that

From there you go home as well

To recycle the core of paper or toilet paper

Or in the case of myself I am gathering the core for volunteers

I will participate in such activities

Share this kind of thing

Having the opportunity to remember every day by continuing them

You will be touched again

With that being round and round

The title of my solo exhibition is decided

“Rude mokoto”

In the sense that people and things go around “Ru moonkoto”

I am making it the title

And that was my art concept

I often say

“I can do it because Mr. Yamada.”

“Because Ms. Yamada has talent”

“Because Ms. Yamada is special”

“Because there is sense.”

As you can see, however

I do not have three eyes

It does not mean there are 30 hours of time a day

It is the same person at the same cell level as you

But if you say there is a different place

From 2010

Crush the core day by day

Stock it

Take it out there

Cut the core

I have repeated such simple tasks

That’s why I

I think that I was able to make the core of any irreverent toilet paper special

I am interested everyday and I am interested in it

Make time to consider time to think about them in your mind

I will move that idea into action

And I try to repeat the two things on a daily basis

Those three special things like that are nothing

It leads to special things

Newton who discovered universal gravitation

If you do not notice the apple has fallen

Perhaps I could not find attraction

But neither I nor Newton

Lay a big antenna in everyday life

A small awareness caught there

It is the result of moving to action one by one

I am now

I have an apple called “Toilet paper core core recycling art”

Are you holding an apple?

Special things exist within commonplace

If you can spend every day conscious of that

You may find only one apple in the world

Things to see you again somewhere through art

I’m looking forward to it

(applause)
