Hand embroidery on felt with black embroidery thread.
I don't do rough drafts or drafts, I just sew what comes into my mind.
I create my works as if I am expanding the world.
This work is based on the jinx, "When you step over the threshold, you step over with your left foot first.
I don't actually have such a jinx myself, but I think there are many people who have such a jinx.
This work was also created for submission to an open competition, and I may have felt like I was being asked to step over the threshold.
I did not use any special embroidery thread.
I chose to sew with a single thread (embroidery thread is usually composed of six thin threads).
I believe this is the best way to produce clean lines.
In other works, this is sometimes not the case, but in this work, all the black solid areas are sewn together with fine thread.
It is not that I am particular about it. I sew by intuition.
I take my time to stitch each and every line, and I create my work as if it were an adventure.
