Art Object Ryo Watanabe 9 TOARU KAKERA

Concept
A Certain Piece / TOARU KAKERA
I want to make something like a piece of stone
that someone will find and carry
I want to make something like a nut
I want to make something like a nut
I want to make something like a piece of wood
and leave it in a little place.
I want to make something that quietly and quietly folds.

I would like to make something that is quietly and quietly folded in a little place, something that I suddenly notice when I am walking somewhere,
I think that for some reason there is the same kind of sign.
A nut, a twig, a pebble, a fallen leaf, or a twisted bolt that you wonder why it has fallen in such a place.
It could be a twisted bolt or a piece of something.
You stop and pick it up.
It might be a rainy day, a cloudy day, or even a sunny day.
I don't know.
But the scenery, air, color, shape, time, and various other things that surrounded the object you saw at that moment
I think that the scenery, air, color, shape, time, and various other things that surrounded the thing I saw at that time appeared as a kind of sign.
And I would like to create something with such a sign.

Ryo Watanabe
Watanabe mainly creates objects using metals such as iron, copper, and brass, with a sense of natural objects.
Like a pebble or a nut on the ground, the works by Watanabe are objects that makes you want to stop and pick up. These objects made of metal stand between natural and man-made objects, with a humble presence of form, color and time.
We hope you will enjoy the texture you feel when holding it in your hand, and the fragile and delicate sound of the pebbles trapped inside, which resonate with nature.
