Comment

I carved the figure of the stump of 20 years ago into it with the annual rings for 29 years. It is a figure in which the seed of this tree budded and it passed in 10 years.
The tree has various appearance.
Annual rings are one of them.
And otherwise there are a color, a crack and a trace which the insect ate etc in it.
Since the tree has those appearance, people recognize it to be a tree.
However, those appearance sometimes makes the form of sculpture itself not visible.
But I would like to see and feel only a form and space.
In this stump, I thought that I would like to express only the space of a surface and a core. Therefore, I hid wooden appearance by the color.
Anyway the tree cannot feel wooden appearance by itself in the dark ground.
