Title: Caregiving Diary 002
2024 Fiber Art “color pen, color pencil, acrylic paint, leaf, milk carton, starch glue” 14.0 14.0 7.0
産後〜子育て中に子をケアしたり家族をケアしたりケアされたりの気持ちを混乱しながら書いた日記です。書いた後に文字部分に沿って破り、また貼り直していく工程は、心と向き合うようで、ワークショップでも好評でした。仮のシリーズタイトルはomekosodate_momotaroで、桃太郎の桃もイメージの出発点にありますが、この作品は金藤が好む昔話とはちがい、現在の状況である。金藤はこの現実と向き合い、変身と回復を促すために作品を生み出す。
comment
“This is a diary written while navigating the mixed emotions of caring for a child, caring for family, and being cared for during the postpartum and child-rearing period. After writing, the process of tearing the text along the written lines and then gluing them back together feels like an act of confronting one’s emotions, and it was well-received at workshops. The series title is omekosodate_momotaro(“ome” is the city name and “kosodate” is (child-rearing)). While the image of the peach from Momotaro serves as a starting point, unlike the traditional tales that Kinto favors, this work addresses the present situation. Kinto creates work to confront this reality and foster transformation and recovery.”
