an answer without an answer

"Flying Man" (in production) F120

My throat hurts since yesterday。I don't have a fever, so it seems like it's just a (common) cold.。saturday afternoon、Maybe it's because I saw something bad.。

Work in progress。Things don't quite go as planned.。I know that I can only do what I can't do, but I'm frustrated、It's going as I want、That “do what you want” itself is not good.。that's why、I have to reconsider、While I was deciding how far I should go back and think about it,、start getting stuck in a maze。

But、What I'm thinking now is, "I don't seek answers that don't have answers."。Well then、What should we do? That being said、There is no way。certainly。If there was a way to find an answer that doesn't have an answer、That's weirder。In the end it's a feeling。

What is the feeling?、everything about that person。Physical strength and energy、Knowledge, experience, and preferences、“Feeling” all together。Just do it until it feels good。Trial and error or hesitation、The words apply to many different things、Being swayed by such words won't accomplish anything.。All you have to do is do it until you think it's good.、There's no way I can do more than that。

Emily Ungwarre

Emily Ungwale “My Homeland” 1992

Emily Kame Kngwarreye 1910?-1996) is a small village on the edge of Australia's central desert.、born as an aboriginal。I have hardly received any so-called Western-style education.、aboriginal traditions、grew up within the rules、I never left there。

As part of an Australian Government education project、Arts and crafts programs started nearby、Emily joined it when she was almost 80 years old.。At first I learned batik (a type of dyeing).、2About a year later, I took an art class.、There he experienced painting on canvas for the first time.。Until then, I had no knowledge or experience of (Western) painting.、I've never even held a paintbrush。

At the end of the program, an exhibition was held by the participants.、Emily's painting attracts attention there.。1~ Within two years, I was invited to participate in world-class exhibitions of contemporary paintings.、Become Australia's leading writer。From the moment you touch a painting、Only 5-6 years until death、It has come to occupy a special place in the world's contemporary paintings.。

To herself, such glory meant little.、still living in the desert、Praying for the yam harvest while feeling the surrounding nature、eat it、sing a song of gratitude、dance。You can also apply paint to the canvas、It has become such a natural part of life.、has her own meaning。Rather than having my paintings sold for hundreds of millions of yen each.、Thinking about the spirits of yams and the earth、Another way to dedicate songs and dances to that、What I acquired in the form of a picture、became valuable to her。If you calculate it, it's almost 1 piece per day.、like washing your face every morning、Apparently he was drawing like he was taking a nap.、3000a picture。Two years after Emily died, I、I saw the big exhibition。

interesting book

Was it fun? "Apple" and "Bird Study"

Two books I read recently。“Almost life-threatening shark encyclopedia” Asako Numaguchi、“The pleasant life of familiar weeds” by Eihiro Inagaki、Chikuma Bunko。"Shark..." is an illustrated book... It certainly has the contents of an illustrated book, but、It's almost a (research) essay.、A slightly unusual book。Immerse yourself in the love of sharks through a hands-on experience、A fairly voluminous book that conveys that passion.。The author of “Familiar…” is also a plant researcher.。I have published a lot of books recently.、this is a paperback、50About seeds of weeds、Essay based on a researcher's perspective。Recommended for people who write haiku。just grass、Without knowing that you are not just a person, you will no longer be able to write poems such as ``Trailblazer.''。

There is a picture book called “Miro’s Picture Book – Carelessly Toward Earth” by Masako Yuki, Shogakukan.。Is it aimed at lower grades of elementary school?。The mistake was in focusing on Milo.。when I go to the library、There are also many art books for children.。But、From an adult perspective、Only the words are made easier to understand.、In short, the imposition of an adult sense、There are many “memorize books”。The child said “Milo…” in 3 minutes and it must be Milo.。But、Maybe、The contents may remain forever。Adults should also take a look。

read interesting books、What I always feel when I see、It takes ten years to accomplish anything.。The author's passion、Don't just convey knowledge、Let the author have various experiences、make me go on an adventure。The author himself has experienced、one hundredth of that、A book that lets you share a thousandth of your time with the author.。That seems to be my definition of an "interesting book".。
