『蜘蛛の巣（芥蜘蛛他）をなぞる』

人間の営みとしての銅版画。人以外の、ここでは蜘蛛のつくる美しい形。私は銅板でいくつかの蜘蛛の巣を採集する。そしてその形をなぞる。数時間かけ銅板上につけた無数の傷による黒の上に。

Copperplate engraving (mezzotint) as a human activity. Beautiful shapes made by non-human beings, in this case spiders. I collect some spider webs on a copper plate. Then I trace their shapes. On top of the blackness caused by the countless scratches I put on the copper plate over several hours.  

銅板に目立てを行い蜘蛛の巣を写し取り、その形をスクレーパーやバニッシャーで削り浮かび上がらせます。支持体の和紙は私達が山から採取した楮を白皮にし、雪で晒し、手打ちの原料を、2層紙で漉き、板干しで仕上げています。

I make a grained copper plate to copy the spider's web and then scrape the shape with a scraper or a burnisher to make it appear. The support for the copperplate is made from Kozo (paper mulberry), which we collect from the mountains, bleach with snow, and hand-finish it with two layers of paper and dry it on a board.
