"It is one of my strict rules that whoever would do even if I didn't do.
Because it is not my attraction but painting's.
I tried to carry on technique and composition strictly as possible with compressor or other tools.
This is not for strict viewing but for liveral one.
I believe that the more strict the object is, the more comfortable the viewer can be.
If the artist':s sense emerges on his of her painting vividly, it can stimulate viewer's dynamic imagination
but the distance and extensity of imagination would become poor.
If painting is very strict as viewer can not see the artist's sense, viewer's imagination can spread
as far as it can be freely with the sense of time and distance."

"I do not have confidence to describe if this is 'work'.
It seems to be too empty to do it.
I have been enthusiastic about vanish something through making something.
I remember this sense began since I made 'ERASING' that is my first 'work' in my universty.
I painted 10m roll paper with 100 pencils and erased it with 100 erasers afterwards.
The left things finally were the chips of 100 pencils, the dust of 100 erasers and the creased paper.
It was not a simple subtraction and just 0 either.
I am seduced the richness that spreads between 0 and 1 infinitely."
