Completed graduate school at Musashino Art University.
I was fascinated by the material of iron from the beginning of the 80's activity,
I produce works by repeating fusing and welding.
Freed from the original sense of hardness and weight, the concept of sculpture = lump,
The space is transformed.
We observe the “field” deeply and take in what is there, whether it is visible or invisible,
Build your own world.
In recent years, works of different materials such as plaster and glass have also been announced.
Major awards include the Minister of Education New Artist Award, the Mainichi Arts Award, and the Nakahara Teijiro Award.
