Artist Note
“Everything that exists, regardless of size and material, are lifeforms that breathes.” Junkhouses’ works are based on hers concept of Organicism. In a nutshell, new lifeforms are born through the artist’s eyes and imaginations on inorganic objects. These inorganic objects may be something that the artist doodled, expressing the rigid objects such as houses, buildings, images, or keywords within hers unconsciousness, processed into the metaphysics and then finally born as a new and live organic image. And these images do not just stay on the canvas. The artist would often take the images outside onto the public walls, providing them new setting to proliferate. These images may get ripped off immediately, or remain there for a day or two or, sometimes longer than usual. Junkhouse lived in an environment where industrialization and constructions by humans have reached the limit throughout hers life, deep within the scent of concrete and co-existing with the other inorganic, stiff objects. It could be observed that it was easier for her to observe, perceive and produce hers organic images because she had been living in such an environment. Moreover, she perceived the city as one giant organism. The city continuously changes, whether naturally or artificially, evolve and mutate. Therefore, because the images and environment that she survives move and evolve, her forms mix and combine with each other, transform into geometic figures and forms, and finally, proliferate after reincarnation into the new formes metamorphoses. Junkhouse will continue to find, observe and show us the co-exisiting materials and objects that we do not easily perceive, showing their own real world and transforming them through her unlimited imagination. ‘存在于现在的所有人，都是随意点评大小和材料的活生生的生命体'。 Junk House被理解为有机体，是以即兴想象或样子的形象而存在的。这种形象的存在我认为是就跟给那个地方注入生命力是一样的。作家认为，自己的形象不仅仅是自己，而是从人们来往距离中得到真正的生命力。距离的常见基准，认为建筑、汽车、信号灯等都是人类制作是非有机生命的存在的人们，正在进行这样工作，就是将这些非有机体再加上一个轻微的形象，将它们变成有生命力的有机体。 Junk House是一个可以绘画的地方，因为对于形态的色彩的调和是最看重的。用调和好比率的状态画好素描之后，通过颜色来找准整个图片的比率和调色。所有的形态都披上了美丽的色彩，色彩配合着形态，这样就诞生了一副新的作品。就这样不断的发掘新事物，并去制作它，这就是快乐的去寻找美学的过程。「存在する全ての物は大きさと材料を問わず、生きている生命体である。」ジャンクハウスは即効的な創造や形に対する形状を生きている有機体として解釈する。彼は自然的なものよりは、すでに人間によって作られた産業物、建築物などのこちこちした事物が一緒に共存しているコンクリートの匂いがする都市の環境で育ち影響を受けてきた。もしかしたら人間によって作られた形態であるが故、もっと人間的で生命力が盛り込まれたイメージを捕捉することが容易に認知されることになったかもしれない。都市は絶え間なく自然的に、人工的にその姿を脱皮して深化する変化過程を経験してきた。その理由より、彼が影響を受ける対象と環境が動き進化しているため、そのイメージはまたお互い混合し変形され、幾何学的形態になり新しい変性形態で再生成・増殖していく。これはまさに都市自体が一つの巨大な有機体として変化している姿を見守りながら、そこから受けた自然的な影響による結果であり過程である。この過程の中、モンスター、ミュータント等といったキャラクターのイメージが描かれてきた。最近は住宅再開発現場で霊感を受けた彫刻や破片、或いは、新しい建築物の抽象的な部分に集中する幾何学的な形態のドローインを描いてきた。ジャンクハウスは絵を描くことにおいて、形態と色彩のバランスを最も重要視する。バランスの取れた比率の形態をドローイングして描かれたらその次には色彩を通して全体の絵の比率と調和を合わせる。形態は美しい色彩を被り、色彩は形態を備えることになることで一つの作品が誕生する。引き続き絶え間なく新しい形態を発見し作ることで最上の美学を探す過程が美術の楽しさではないかと思う。
