these forms make a kind of organism.
these organisms make a species.
these species make a family.
this is the cycle of nature, the origin of species.
these are my works like small cells which are the beginning of nature.

I make these forms by just pouring plaster into balloons.
I freeze a liquid or aerial state  creating many different original organisms.
I work simply, little by little, I feel that the way I work has something in
common with process of nature.
  
Then I choose a few of these originals and reproduce them in porcelain using
molds and slip casting techniques.  These groups of reproduced organisms create
the species and families of worlds which I present in large groups.
Each world marks a new evolution of my own work.
