Sculpture constructed by the whirlpool
Artist Statement
I have given a title called "CROSS・BEARING" to many works.
Originally, this word means fundamental navigation.
I studied the method of getting to know a position on the ship
which cruises the coast, at the time of 18 years old.
I explain the method easily.
The navigation officer who is onboard measures
the bearing of three remarkable landmarks as quickly as possible.
Next, he draws on a chart three bearing lines obtained here.
Three bearing lines on a chart make the triangle
which did not cross at one point but included the small error.
I got interested in a triangle including a small error, and it appears,
when the navigation officer who is moving measures a position.
An error triangle is theoretically deduced from measurement time
and an observing eye.
The position given to the subject who moves will become relativity
including an error.
But we can sail in front little by little, watching carefully,
thinking and creating.
