A pig
 
We extremely generally have relation of two value with the front and back of love and hatred about a pig.We can use it in contempt and a meaning to abuse.We can treat it as the loved cha- racter significance of being loving.It is considered to be a thing of dirtiness in the world of Judaism and Islam.On the other hand, in China, they regard it as a symbol of wealth.As for the image of the world, the value feelings that are ambivalent are projected.

I continue production through the medium of the pig which eliminated such a general value feelings.
My birthplace runs a hoggery in Gunma.Therefore I come in contact with a pig to date from childhood.Pigs as a work are produced by memory and environment in unconsciousness from child- hood to the present.I try that I am conscious of this memory to art expression.

A pig to treat as an article is the most efficient to mass-produce it.And it is eaten flesh after various processes without a consumer knowing it.With a medicine, we repeat a kind charge account and perform castration every day, and much work circulates effectively.
I breed several hundred pigs, and I see it producing it.Therefore I do not have feelings such as love and hatred as a pet toward a pig.These hoggeries have an aspect different from abuse and an image of a pig to be lovely that the world draws.
There have the smell that feces and a cage of iron mingled in a real hoggery.And the fly which swarms to a smell and feces of dust.A voice of a beast buying bait and the pig which are made to copulate.A pig is bred in the air which there is a cold bad smell every day.
I treat memory and environment of a pig from such a childhood as a medium of art expression An image of the pig which I draw is real world of a hoggery not contempt and a general concept loving.

I image it from the world of a hoggery and make human momentum a model and reflect it to a pig. It made a cynical remark on human life.The human being is a figure of my own and depicts a pig as a figure of my own.There is a convenient case than I draw it through the medium of me though the one where I drew an another person on expresses thought of my own, myself.The reason is because it hides the part which it does not want to show when it draws oneself.One when I reflected self to an another person is easy to be aware of a weak point or a merit.It takes "me" for a long time to draw an another person and reflects it and looks back at self and the point of contact with the outside world, self and can promote self to an extremity.From such a thing, I reflect a figure of my own to a pig.

I began with an oil painting, and a print, a solid overused various technique.A theme changes therewith.However, I pin a medium on a pig throughout and continue production.
