▌創作自述 Artist Statement
當灰原愛創作作品時,她希望創造出美麗或可愛、賞心悅目,以及前所未見的事物。灰原愛所創作的形象,比起銳利 更偏向圓潤,比起堅硬更傾向柔軟,並帶有溫柔、蓬鬆的氛圍。 灰原愛大約在十五歲時,第一次萌生了創作的念頭。當時無論是小說、漫畫,還是繪畫,她並不在意表現形式是什麼; 只是那時的世界對她而言,是個孤獨而難以生存的地方,因此她想創造一個屬於自己的溫柔世界。對她而言,創作作 品就像是在增加那個世界的居民數量。也因此,灰原愛希望以各種不同主題進行創作,並對廣泛的事物抱持興趣。 在持續繪畫並嘗試各種表現形式的過程中,藝術家最終走向了木雕創作。隨著時間過去,她也逐漸萌生了想將自己獨 特世界分享給更多人的想法。然而,灰原愛想成為自己世界中的神這份願望,從最初至今始終未曾改變。 她將自己的心血與靈魂投注於每一件作品之中,並將它們視如自己的孩子。灰原愛的作品即是她的愛。她希望有更多 人能看見她的作品,也希望她的愛能傳達給更多的人。
When Ai Haibara creates artwork, she wants to make something that is beautiful or cute, something that is pleasing to the eye, something that has never been seen before. Ai Haibara creates things that are rounded rather than angular, soft rather than hard, and have a gentle, fluffy image. Haibara first wanted to create something when she was about 15 years old. It didn’t matter what the method of expression was—whether it was a novel, a manga, or a drawing—but at the time, the world felt like a lonely and difficult place to live for her, so she wanted to create her own gentle world. Creating artwork is like increasing the number of inhabitants in that world. That’s why Haibara wants to create works on a variety of themes, and she’s interested in a wide range of things. Through drawing and experimenting with various forms of expression, the artist arrived at wood carving. As she grew older, her desire to share her own unique world with many people evolved. However, Ai Haibara’s wish to become a god in her own world has remained unchanged from the beginning. She put her heart and soul into creating each and every piece, and she think of them like her own children. Ai Haibara’s work is her love. She hope that many people will see her work and that her love will reach them.
