Children's perspective
Mariko Tagami
April Flower Moon Day New Works Exhibition
Thank you to everyone who came.
As an artist, the time I will be exhibiting is
Many people have shown their support.
I feel truly grateful to be involved.
Once again, I am filled with gratitude to everyone I met at Utsushiki.
While we are helping you
For me, it is a reflection of everyday life.
This was the first time in a long time that I brought my son to be present at the gallery.
This exhibition period was a special time where we could feel the growth of the Ono children and my son.
In the family team
I feel like I have to endure it
I sometimes feel guilty about making people participate in the exhibition.
Before I knew it, I could say the names of all five of the Ono children.
Seeing my son grow up and naturally adapt to the place, I'm glad I brought him here.
It's amazing how all that guilt just disappears.
Especially my son and his classmates.
The second son of the Ono family is
It's like a monster that steals toys.
My son feels uncomfortable and doesn't go near me.
The distance between the two of us was so far.
The sight of them walking hand in hand and laughing happily
It seems like unnecessary walls and preconceptions have been removed.
I can't help but be impressed by the children's flexibility...
The world they see
Sometimes I feel envious.
One Sunday
When I was crawling on the floor at eye level with a small spider
When they tell us stories that make our hearts flutter, like memories from a past life
Between the Son and the Spider
Between my son and the memories of his past life
It is a world of gradation.
I feel like there may not be any boundaries.
No walls in your mind or preconceived notions
I think there are things that can only be seen from a child's perspective.
The sights you can only see now, the words you can only hear now
These days I feel like I want to take my time and savor it.
This week
The boss of the mirror Yasuhide Ono
Yuichi Sasaki, an artist with a connection to Utsushiki
On this day in February, I headed to Miyagi Prefecture where my husband, Daisuke Tagami, was holding a "Three Person Exhibition."
This was a first for my son and I.
I would like to return to a child's perspective and enjoy the scenery in front of me, wondering what kind of view I would see.
Have a great week everyone!
