Artist Statement:

This work was created with a high-level coating technology. Important objectives were to achieve sufficient water-resistance, light-resistance, and coloring, and to obtain the multiplicative effect that is equivalent to that for the ground material. The work achieves an original representation that consists of not only the image but also integration of the real material and sensations of materials created by computers.

The theme of this work is the relationship between layers of abstracted and accumulated memories, and shapes that are actually represented. This is the basic concept of the works I produce with computers, where abstracted memories and the individual (myself) influence each other, and represented memories and the society influence each other. I think artists should step forward and propose technologies that satisfy these conditions.
