些細な出来事がきっかけで思いもよらぬ衝動を呼び覚ますことがある。身体の中を何かが駆け巡り、内と外をも一瞬で包み込む感覚。それは、事物を両極から辿っていく時にも起こる個人的で立体的な知覚だ。
この感覚を表出できないかと量塊性のある制作から空間を駆使した表現に変容してきている。量塊を意識した制作から真逆のようにみえるこの試みは覚束ない仕事のはじまりでもあるが、探求におけるパラドックスのような微かにみえる輪郭を抉り出す仕事ともいえる。
あるいは世界の一部として、一つの現実としての行為である。

Hiroko Ogawa studied sculpture at an art university and after graduating mainly created sculpture works. But the experience of 'Priming Water (Yobimizu)' at the well on the premises
of the atelier reversed the style of the work, and changed into a phenomenological study that considered the bipolar nature of things.
Recent works mainly create fluid and experiential works in which a crack is put in a glassware and then water or ink is poured into it to cause water droplets to drop from the crack or
slowly leak onto the pedestal.
The substance is decomposed throughout the artwork, research on the time and the nature behind the substance, and daily personal
fieldwork 'Running' explores every boundaries in a multi-dimensional way by morphological analysis.
*Priming Water | Yobimizu
When water flows from a pump-type well and does not come out, it is the water used to induce water by pouring water in from above.
