the filter called body

Involuntarily、I opened my mouth.。Because what I did was written there.。It's a bit long, but I'll quote it:。-"for example、When you think of an apple, you mean a red, round fruit.。The dictionary meaning is already firmly established.、There are no cracks。But the poet、Breaking free from the shackles of words and meanings、find a completely different meaning。The cross section of an apple is likened to the slope of a cliff...''。It's like I was watching the moment when I connected the cliff and the apple (which led to the current Apple series).。

I read it this morning、In the Asahi Shimbun Digital series “AI and Us”、What Gunji Pegio Yukio said (by the way)、It's because Pegio likes penguins.)。But、next moment、I thought of something else。“To give an example、It's easy for everyone to understand."。It's not a flying idea、I just took a step to the side.、I guess that means。of course、I think I'm like that too.、I thought about it then and I think about it now.。

It also says。“More than AI itself.、More and more people are assuming that AI will help them understand everything in the world.、It’s scary (I made it a little shorter).”。Anatomist Mengiko Yoro said, ``AI cannot overcome the wall of stupidity.''。Don't make fun of your body、This is also connected to the fact that he says,。

When thinking about what to draw、(I don't do that much these days) First, I pick up a poetry collection.、I started by picking out words that seemed to evoke an image.。I don't think I was able to fully understand the content of the poem.、Ideas from words、Whether or not you can expand your imagination、It was necessary for my own experiences to overlap.。As long as words and meanings go back and forth through the “filter of the body”、Vibrant (individual) details emerge there.。A small protrusion scraped my arm - such physicality.、He supported the work.。The emptiness of images created by AI、I think that's exactly what it shows from the inside out.。

“Random” drawings/free drawings

「向こう向きのデコイとフジツボ」水彩　2024.01.11

It's been a while、自由なモチーフで、“適当に” 描いてみた。For a while now、YouTube用の水彩か、出品用の作品しか、描いていなかったような気がする。こういう「描いてみただけ」というのが本当は楽しいんだよね。

うまく描いて当たり前とか、うまく描かないと恥ずかしい、なんて思いこんでいると、ろくなことはない。楽しくないどころか、ストレスだ。drawing a picture is、本当は「ストレス解消」であってほしい。多くの画家たちにとって、半分はストレス解消になっているはずだが、半分はストレスにもなっているはずだ。なんにしても、“ねばならぬ” はよくない。

ある量を所要時間で割れば、単位時間当たりの「時間効率」が出る。一日に3枚絵を描けば、1枚しか描けない日の、3倍効率がいいことになりそうだが、それがバカバカしい計算であることは子どもでも分かる。一枚一枚の絵（の価値または意味）は、それぞれに異なっていて、それを測る基準・指標もまた、個人的なものだから。

drawing a picture is、on second thoughts、どこかで子どもに還ることじゃないだろうか。それが心のふるさと、ではないのかな。世の中ますます生きづらくなっている。自殺する人も増えている。accident、災害も多い。そのうえ至る所で戦争まで起こしやがって。drawing a picture is、平和だ。平和になることだ。Besides,、（少しの間でも）自由にもなれる。“適当に” 絵を描こうよ。

first dream

Actually、outside this picture。It's beautiful in the middle of nowhere

What people find beautiful (not necessarily things) is probably different for each person.、That's also important。even within the same person、During the period of growth and the process of deepening the spirit,、The target must also change。And、many are forgotten、being lost。Beauty is fleeting。

I was thinking in my first dream。myself、What do you think is truly beautiful?、and。Not that either、I'm choosing not to have this.、Suddenly, I thought, ``It might be snowing.''。
In hindsight、I started drawing snowy scenes on New Year's Day.、I imagined that it must have appeared in a dream.、before that、I wonder if I've been throwing away many beautiful things from myself.、I also remember being filled with sad thoughts.。
From inside the box of memories、With a feeling of panic、I am taking out the “beauty” that I have lost one by one (all of them are、I laugh at how flat it is, like a picture on paper.)。And、What suddenly appeared in my palm、It was snow stuck to small stones.。In my favorite forest、I was rubbing my fingers against the half-frozen snow.。

That's right、The color of the snow was not white。The color of the stone gradually becomes transparent、jagged、And the color is like a child's cheeks rubbed by the wind.、There are also one or two small needle-like crystals standing on top of it.。forever、I wish I could just draw it、I was thinking about this even after I woke up.。
