Untitled.3

23F Hallway|Wood 13x7.5x14cm 2011


This sculptured work reflects Ikezoe’s interests about nature and human relationship. The image of joined animal and human is created from Ikezoe’ s drawing, then it developed to sculpture. Ikezoe draws everyday. The process begins by placing new paper on the drawing drawn the day before and tracing the line seen through, and Ikezoe stops tracing in the middle, starts to draw a new shape. This image was discovered "nature in the human body" through the drawing process. At the time of making the work, it was right after The Great East Japan earthquake. Ikezoe sees the collision and reconciliation between nature and humans is not only in our surroundings but also in our human body.
