New York City in the summer? Don’t mind if we do! See y’all at the legendary Blue Note New York on July 11th and 12th. We’ll be doing an early show and late show, so y’all got options. This will be one of our few east coast shows this year as we shift our focus to working on the next album, so let the crew know we’re coming with lots of new music!

Guys, Purple has truly taken over my life. I'm sitting in my room rn with an Taro Instant Bubble Tea Kit, Trade Joe's Ube Joe-Joes, and Trader Joe's Ube Mochi pancake mix.

Guys, my food is purple.

I may be the "purple girl" (the annoying person who's favorite color is purple and everyone will know about it.)

Anyways...might turn my skin purple. I'll keep you guys updated.

この「かたち」になるまでにこの場所で過ごした時間、そしてこれから過ごす時間が、この立体と「この場所」にどのような変化をもたらすのだろうか。

僕がこの立体にしたことは、一枚の板に切り込みと吊す位置を決めることだけでした。この一枚の平な板は、重力、つまり地球によってかたちづくられ、周囲の状況によって変化し続けます。その変化は逆に周囲に影響を及ぼしながら共にこの場所をつくる、「地球にまかせる」ことを考えた作品シリーズです。

普段から、このシリーズのそれぞれの立体を金属で制作するにあたり、いつも紙などでスタディを繰り返すのですが、数日すると、湿度や風などの周りの状況によって、当初つくられたかたちとは異なる複雑な曲線へと自然と変化していきます。これは、変化の連鎖と向き合うことを考えさせられる過程でもありました。

この場所では、紙と金属の素材それぞれで構成された二つの群が配されています。

二つの群にはそれぞれの個性によって形状変化に時間差があり、群としてのまとまりはもちろん個別にも各々にこの場所と関係を築きます。

金属の群では、重力によりかたちが変化したあとの形状は吊った直後にある程度安定しますが、空気の流れにより回転して光の受け方が変わるので、浮遊する反射光は常に変化しながら周囲に大きな影響を及ぼします。ただ、周囲の状況によっては比較的長い時間をかけて徐々に、かたちも当初とは違うものにもなっていきます。

紙の群では、重力による形状の変化が始まった直後から、数分もしくは数時間や数日の割と短時間に、この場所の湿度や空気の流れ、人の動きなどの状況によって形状が変化しながら、かたちづくられていきます。また、その変化とともに常に異なる影を「この場所」は纏い、日々装いは変わります。

この場所を過ごす「それぞれ」は、同じ時間、同じ場所にいても、過ごした時の堆積は異なるのです。それは川の流れの中で石が削られ変化するように、時の流れの中で各々がこの場所とどのように関係を築くかで、それぞれの姿をみせてくれます。

これらの群が「この場所」で過ごした時間はほんのわずかですが、地球はもちろん、もっと身近な周囲の小さな環境の変化によってつくられた「それぞれのかたち」があり、互いの関係にもそれぞれにかたちがあるのです。そして今なお、これからここで過ごす時間の分だけ、この場所でそれぞれの関係��連鎖は続いていきます。

この過ごした時がなければこの「かたち」、今の「この場所」にならないように、それぞれが過ごしたどの瞬間も、それぞれの「あなた」が今にいたる、これからの「あなた」のための大切な時間なのだと思います。

I wonder how the time I spent and will spend in this place before this 'form' will bring about changes to this three-dimensional object and 'this place'.

All I did with this sculpture was to cut a slit in a board and decide where to hang it. This single flat board is shaped by gravity, or the earth, and keeps changing according to its surroundings. This series of works considers the idea of 'letting the earth do the work', whereby the changes affect the surroundings and together they create this place. I usually repeat studies on paper and other materials when I create each of the sculptures in this series in metal, but after a few days they naturally change into complex curves that differ from their original form, depending on the surrounding conditions, such as humidity and wind. This was a process that made me think about facing the chain of change.

In this location, two groups are arranged, one made of paper and the other of metal. The two groups have a time difference in shape change according to their individual characteristics, and they build a relationship with this place individually as well as collectively as a group. In the metal group, the shape is stabilised to a certain extent immediately after it is suspended, but the air flow rotates it and changes the way it receives light, so the floating reflected light is constantly changing and has a significant impact on its surroundings. However, depending on the surrounding conditions, the shape can also gradually change over a relatively long period of time, becoming different from the initial shape. In the case of paper swarms, the shape is formed immediately after the change in shape caused by gravity begins, changing over a relatively short period of time (minutes, hours or days), depending on the humidity, air flow and movement of people in the area. The place also wears different shadows as it changes, and its appearance changes from day to day.

Each person who spends time in this place may be in the same place at the same time, but the accumulation of time spent in this place is different. Just as stones are chipped away and changed in the flow of a river, each of them shows their own appearance depending on how they build a relationship with this place in the flow of time.

Although these groups have spent only a short time in this place, they have their own forms, created by changes in the small environment around them, not to mention the earth itself, and their relationships with each other also have their own forms. And even now, for as long as we spend here, the chain of relationships will continue in this place.

Just as this 'form' and this place would not be what it is today without the time spent here, I believe that every moment spent by each of us is an important time for the 'you' that has brought each of us to the present and for the 'you' to come.

Kapetirya Philippine Coffee is steadily becoming one of my favorite cafes in the country... I always try to get their Ube Truffle whenever I visit Baguio City.
