Hello everyone

The artwork and images of stones you send me are very interesting and inspiring. I am working on a stone-inspired images and will send it to you later.

Today I am sending some artwork inspired by the stripes.

皆さんが送ってくれる石のアートワークやイメージは、とても興味深く、創作力を刺激してくれます。 僕も石からインスピレーションを受けた作品を今制作中なので、近々送ります。 今日は、ストライプからイメージした作品をいくつか送ります。

Dear Ayame,

Dear all,

thank you for your mail and your wonderful high resolution pictures/works, Ayame ; )

It's amazing how we can influence each other.

I tried to find Riku Onda's Night Picnic. But I think the book exists only in japanese language. I've read "the Aosawa Murders". I liked it. There is this book of hers (in german language) "Fish Swimming in Dappled Sunlight". Do you know it? Can you recommend it? The paesina-stones are really special. Unbelievable that they are made by nature. : o

I feel really inspired by your collage works. There are ideas coming to my mind for a work I could realise for our exhibition in August.

.... to be continued

Dear Kiyoshi,

Dear all,

I like your stripe-works very much, Kiyoshi. Did my work inspire you?

Unfortunately my attempts to pack the stones in strips were not presentable ; )))

At the moment I'm preparing a show on May 23rd in Frankfurt. So time is short. But I am still thinking about / working on our Berlin-Tokyo-Project.

..... @all: I enjoy your work so much.

Hi everyone.

Today is Children's Day in Japan. During this season, Sometimes we see “carp streamers” as well. Stone pattern with stone wrapped around it. I made a "carp streamer" with it that I made before. Breeze of May really feels good.



(The real carp streamers are not like this)
Katrin sent us an image of a stone that looks like a machine! I will make something.

今日、日本ではこどもの日。この季節には、たまに鯉のぼりを見かけます。 以前に作った石が包まれた石の模様の紙で鯉のぼりを作りました。この季節の風は、本当に気持ち良いです。 (本当の鯉のぼりはこんなじゃないけど) カトリンの送ってくれた石は、メカニカルだね! なんか作ってみよう

Dear all,

In May, The weather is getting warmer in Tokyo.

Toni, I heard that "Night Picnic" was made into a movie in Japan (although I haven't seen it). I like "the Aosawa Murders" too ;) I haven't read it yet. Maybe I am going to give it a try. Also, Your work is inspiring to me.Thank you.

Katrin's favorite stone is beautiful.. .I think it would be Pyrite. It is a really cool stone with straight parts. Hard to feel from the pic, but I once used it as a silkscreen print motif.

Ishioka-San's wrapped stone is also very interesting. I had tried this idea before, and printed it on stone paper and wrapped it. It is really nice to wrap it in a pattern like this.

Let's keep moving on.

Ayame



トニ、日本では夜のピクニックは(見ていないのだけど)映画化されたみたいです。ドイツ語版はないのですね、"the Aosawa Murders"は私も好きです ; ) "Fish Swimming in Dappled Sunlight" まだ読んでいないんです。トライしてみようかな。 私もまたインスピレーションをもらっています。ありがとう。

カトリンの好きな石美しいです…おそらく黄鉄鉱・パイライトではないかと思います。 直線的な部分があってすごくかっこいい石ですよね。 写真では分かりにくいですが、私も一度シルクスクリーンプリントのモチーフで使ったことがあります。

石岡さんの包まれた石も、すごく面白いですね。 私も以前こういうアイデアを試してみたことがあって、ストーンペーパーという石でできた紙に印刷をして包みました。 こういうパターンで包むのとてもいいですね。

引き続きよろしくお願いします。

Dear Team,

I hope you are doing well.

I have an exhibition opening next Thursday and have been very busy lately. Nevertheless, I was able to work on some new ideas for our joint exhibition. I would like to show you these.

For the transport of the works in July, I'm thinking of objects that are easy to transport, light and won't get damaged during transport. I want to create folded/ironed works that can be unfolded for the exhibition and hung on wooden sticks or small nails. The folds/pleats are then an essential part of the work. In June I will create some etchings. I could give these to you in a small, flat cardboard box. I am also thinking about inflatable works that can be transported flat. Here are a few impressions.
The boxes for DIN A3 (German industrial standard) are slightly larger than 297 x 420 mm (millimetres). I would not give you larger formats We have a long weekend in Germany. Pentecost is being celebrated. Most people in Germany are no longer religious. That's why it's simply nice for many people to have a day off. We artists work every day, of course ; )

Have a nice weekend.

Kind regards
Toni

Hi Toni
Thank you for letting us know. We are glad to be able to see your art in June and July.

I am busy with my exhibition too. I will stay for a week in Osaka. By the way, we are scheduled to apply for our grant-in-aid this week. We think they will help with shipping costs. We can let you know about that soon.
