Artist Statement
Sato Sugamoto's works express the diversity of human thoughts and emotions. They are an attempt to visualize the insides of our minds. She feels a lack of diversity in Japanese society, due to the intense pressure to conform to social norms and expectations. In her life in Japan, she has often worried about being different from others. Accordingly, she developed an interest in divergent thought patterns, and has been creating artworks that express the importance of standing apart from others. The numerous strings in her works entangle in complex configurations, evoking circuits of thought that intertwine in myriad ways within society. Through her method, she gives voice to the personal values of either one or many persons through the beauty of intertwining colored lines.

アーティスト
東京生まれ。 東京芸術大学卒業。 思考の多様性をテーマとしている。
作品は頭の中を可視化する試みであり、個人の頭の中・複数人の頭の中である。
絡み合い、混ざり合う多様な思考の流れを色鮮やかな紐を用いて立体表現している。
その姿は無数の線が、それぞれが自立しながら複雑に絡み合っているようであり、個人の中・他人同士の異なる価値観が混ざり合う美しさが表現されている。
