Started in '99, this is my life work. Expressing cutting as its own language, primarily applied to paper, it brings forth a new perspective.

Since the 2008 exhibition, the artwork involves hand-cutting 800 to 1000 sheets of paper, layering them to form cube-shaped three-dimensional structures that alternate between negative and positive spaces.

It's a series that has been ongoing since the 2006 solo exhibition, forming a physical and emotional geography through the accumulation of 100 to several thousand sheets of paper with introspection.

It's a large-scale version of the Flat Globe series, continuing since the solo exhibition in 2003. The artwork takes shape on a large scale, primarily in negative forms.

I am expressing a new concept by cutting the pre-existing patterns and information in books so as to alter them.

'キル' pronounced Kiru means 'Cut' in Japanese. By cutting artist's catalogs, or books, as a ' filter ' myself, I try to understand their concepts, find points of intersection or conflict and then collaborate with them. I am considering "what is art?" from the artists.

Site specific installation, collaborated with 13 - 15 year-old students in Singapore and Japan. Following individual requests, altered school textbooks to express their thoughts and sensibility.


The act of cutting or drawing, as a linear action, transcends the material, exploring points of connection with the external environment.

These installations project a continuous sequence of images through slideshows onto layered screens, embodying the passage of time moment by moment within the installations.

This is a collaboration with metal cabinets. The cabinets are a metaphor for the human body as emptiness. Also, this work visualizes the intersection of the stream of vertical time with the present.

Combining organic and geometric shapes, densely layered and hand-cut, this body of work strives to achieve a true balance as abstract art.

There are early works from 1992〜1999.
