This is a series of paintings drawn using vermilion ink and crayons. Weeds grow at a frightening rate and cover the field in no time. I am overwhelmed by the power of what nutrients they suck up and emerge from such hard soil. It has a life force that is almost impossible to match. In Japan, there are so many different kinds of plants, and even in a small field, which is part of such a large variety of plants, there is a surprising amount of power. I would like to live in such a powerful and spontaneous way. ■Art materials red-ink, crayon,wooden panel ---------- A series of paintings drawn using red-ink and crayon.
