32 Taiko is the Japanese for 'drum', which is one of the most basic and comforting of sounds from any indigenous culture around the world, echoing the sound of our own heartbeat. Sometimes when I work, I listen to classical music. I respond to this music on both emotional and spiritual levels: I can savour what I hear without letting intellectual analysis get in the way of my enjoyment. In the same way, I would hope the viewer could enjoy my works without having to understand them. As with a piece of classical music which becomes more familiar with each playing, I would hope that the viewer gains a deeper level of enjoyment and understanding of my own works with time spent simply looking. |
