NAKATA Mayu

URUSHI Artist

Through my work, I explore smoke, flame, and thunderclouds as both strength and weakness of human beings.
They are similar in terms of fluidity.
Kinma is a traditional lacquer technique from Thailand and Myanmar in which patterns are carved on lacquer surface and filled in with lacquer, then left to harden and finally polished for gloss.
I carve the lacquer surface much deeper than the original Kinma technique in order to have more layers of colors to be filled in with which allows me to create more complex patterns.

Even though clouds are made of small particles, they hide everything like the moon, the sun and the sky.

The airplane disappears in the clouds, as if it's an entrance to a different world.

I am interested in the future clouds. Can we see the same clouds in the future?

タイ、ミャンマーの漆芸伝統技法である“キンマ”は、漆面を刃物で彫り、漆を充填し、硬化後研ぎ出し模様を浮かび上がらせます。

私は漆面を深く彫り、充填する色漆の層を増やし、複雑に絡み合う文様を用います。
