留学したミュンヘン美術アカデミーの壁画実習で下地制作過程に金ヘラを使った経験は、絵筆でモティーフを描くことからの解放であった。その金ヘラで下地を作ることがきっかけとなり、上から下に、右から左に金ヘラで色をのせていくと、ヘラの一辺の長さの正方形が出来る。その制作方法により幾何学的絵画を成立させることと時間の集積という課題を追求してきた。「記憶の部屋2004」の構成は、１２個のパーツを箱から出し、収め直すパズルをもとに制作した平面絵画と、その色を積層させた絵画を結晶化させたとも言える木製立体パーツ12個が箱から崩れ落ちた様な在り方で展示した。立体パーツの形を認識し秩序を立て元の箱に収めるという記憶の部屋への収め方。もともとの平面絵画を立体に戻す。建築しては崩壊させる。記憶しては対極にある忘却を繰り返す。空間と時間を往来している。

The experience of using a gold spatula in the process of creating the base for a mural painting at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied, was a liberation from painting motifs with a paintbrush. The experience of using a gold spatula to create the base of the painting led to the creation of a square the length of one side of the spatula by applying color from top to bottom and right to left with the gold spatula. This method of production has allowed him to create geometrical paintings and to pursue the issue of the accumulation of time. The composition of “Room of Memory 2004” consisted of a two-dimensional painting based on a puzzle in which 12 parts were taken out of a box and put back in, and 12 wooden three-dimensional parts, which could be said to crystallize the painting by layering the colors, were displayed as if they had fallen out of the box. The artist recognized the shape of the three-dimensional parts, ordered them, and placed them in the original box, thus placing them in a room of memory. The original two-dimensional painting is returned to three-dimensional form. Building and collapsing. He repeats memory and forgetting its opposite. He travels back and forth between space and time.
