この遠くにある部屋ではむかし、二人の人間が生活していて、一匹の猫もいた。この猫は飼い猫ではないのだが、しょっちゅうそこへ行っては何か食べものをもらっていた。また二人の人間は愛しあっていたが、体は二人とも女の形をしていたので、交わっても子を作ることはなかった。
この遠くにある部屋には一つだけソファがあり、二人はいつもそこへ座って会話をしていた。二人は喧嘩をした事はなかったが、相手の悲しみへ共感するあまり互いに苦しく辛くなる事が度々あった。相手の職場であった理不尽なこと、相手の考える政治的な問題、相手の親の不幸、そのすべてが互いに完全に共有できるものだった。
この遠くにある部屋にはドアがなく、ドアがないので二人の人間と一匹の猫はいつも窓から出入りしていた。 いつだったか一度だけドアを作る提案を誰かがしたが、計画だけ立てて流れてしまった。そんなことだから、部屋には来客者も窓から入れなければならず、その罪悪感から二人はあまり人を呼べなかった。》 2021、麻、綿、石、パステル、木炭、34×27cm
Narumi SASAKI《In this room placed somewhere distant, heat burns, making the space dry and warm. It must be raining today but tapping water is
what only refrains in this room.
In this room placed somewhere distant lived two human beings long ago: And a cat, too. It did not belong to the two although the
feline frequently visited their place and was fed. The two loved each other, however their bodies were in the form of female which
was the very reason they could not have a child albeit intercourse.
In this room placed somewhere distant was a sofa where the two would often sit and chat. They never fought each other, though
they sympathized with each other’ s sorrow so much it distressed their hearts.
Ridiculous episodes at work, politics, the misery one’ s parent has... Every one of them were something they could thoroughly share.
In this room placed somewhere distant, were no doors. Since they did not have a door, the two human beings and one cat would
always get in and out from the window. Some while ago someone suggested making a door, which never came through. The room
was such a place where visitors had to enter from the window. The two could barely invite others from sense of guilt.》2021, Hemp, Cotton, Stone, Pastel, Charcoal, 34×27cm[Photo:Kunihisa FUKUDA] 佐々木成美《この時刻に生まれた子どもは幸せになる》2021、キャンバスに油彩、木、49×31cm Narumi SASAKI《The child who is born in this hour shall be blessed》2021, Oil on canvas, Wood, 49×31cm[Photo:Kunihisa FUKUDA] Narumi Sasaki《Hazel(ヘーゼル)》2023, Oil and Ceramics on Canvas, 300 × 360 × 70 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Nina(ニーナ》2024, Oil and Ceramics on Canvas, 360 × 260 × 60 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Mei(メイ)》2024, Oil and Ceramics on Canvas, 370 × 260 × 70 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Blair(ブライアー)》2023, Oil and Ceramics on Canvas, 370 × 360 × 70 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Lio(リオ)》2024, Oil and Ceramics on Canvas, 350 × 320 × 70 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Kath(キャス)》2024, Oil and Ceramics on Canvas, 350 × 310 × 70 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Phia(フィア)》2024, Oil and Ceramics on Canvas, 350 × 360 × 60 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Loni(ロニ)》2024, Oil and Ceramics on Canvas, 340 × 290 × 60 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Wearing Sculpture, As the Body》2024, Ceramics, 30 × 20 × 5 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Wearing Sculpture, As the Body》2023, Ceramics, 60 × 50 × 5 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Drawing》2024, Watercolor on Paper, 440 × 365 × 25 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Drawing》2024, Watercolor on Paper, 440 × 365 × 25 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Drawing》2024, Watercolor on Paper, 440 × 365 × 25 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Sophie(ソフィー)》2024, Oil and Ceramics on Canvas, 630 × 1100 × 100 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Untitled(無題)》2024, Oil on Canvas, 1620 × 1303 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Untitled(無題)》2024, Oil and Ceramics on Canvas, 2273 × 1818 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Rebecca(レベッカ)》2024, Oil and Ceramics on Canvas, 1070 × 650 × 120 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Untitled(無題)》2024, Oil on Canvas, 1620 × 1303 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Gradiva(グラディーヴァ)》2023, Ceramics, 140 × 150 × 80 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Moon Phase(月相)》2024, Ceramics, Glass, 180 × 230 × 150 mm[撮影:大河内禎] Narumi Sasaki《Hand(手)》2024, Ceramics, 250 × 150 × 150 mm[撮影:大河内禎]
