あるインタビュー番組で絵本作家の荒井良二さんが、”ないかなー”といいながら、素晴らしい絵本を創っていた。感動。自由に絵を描いていく姿や、もっともっとと進んで行く姿勢にすごく勇気をもらいました。なんだか涙がでた。自由な表現者！先日、夜中のソロ演奏を観にいったばかりの、voiceの蜂谷真紀さんは私の尊敬する、もっとも自由な表現者の一人で、音楽と絵、表現方法はちがうけれど、何処かにつきぬけてゆこうとする爆発的な力は、きらきらしていて、心に響くのです。
"Genius Child's switch" is coined word from world famous illustrator and author of picture books, Ryoji Arai. I heard it from an interview program on TV. On the show, he was writing his new picture book and saying he wish he has one! I really like this idea and I eagerly desire to have one as well. However, for me, his imagination is unbelievably free like child. He reminds me Maki Hachiya's solo performance that I saw few weeks ago in Tokyo. I've known her for several years and she's always changing in better way. Their power to try to go beyond the borders of expectation is really touched and encouraged me a lot.
