While the house is still unfinished, we stayed one night yesterday. The purpose was also to find out what is wrong with the house.
For me, it is a new structure built in a strange land. For some reason, I feel terribly nostalgic.
It reminds me of the nostalgia of my childhood, and old songs come back to me. I was cleaning up, singing songs of remembrance.
One by one, I carefully install the paintings and other objects I have bought and collected since entering the Covid-19 pandemic.
Some of them were purchased directly from artisans at the DASTKAR or A HUNDRED HANDS exhibitions, and others were displayed in a corner of antique shops.
As soon as they were hung on the wall, they became alive and glowed as if they had begun to breathe.
Among them, the highlights were the paintings by my friend JAYA JAVERI. Two works depicting scenes of Hampi are in the living room. The riverside scene of the Ganges River is in the corridor.
For the past few months, I have been thinking many times how I would like to decorate the gallery.
The furniture and furnishings, although purchased from several different vendors, are in perfect harmony with each other.
India. Japan. Mythology. Faith. Tradition. Travel. Earth. Nature. Planet....... This space is full of stories.
When I get back from Japan, I will put them all back together again and unravel them little by little.
まだ、未完成の家ながら、昨日は１泊した。住まいの不具合を見つけるのも目的。
見知らぬ土地に建てられた、新しい建築物なのに、なぜかひどく、懐かしい。
子どものころの郷愁を思い出し、昔の歌が蘇る。口ずさみながら掃除をする。
パンデミックに入ってから、買い集めてきた絵画などを、一つ一つ、丁寧に設置した。
DASTKARやA HUNDRED HANDSの展示会で、職人アーティストたちから直接、買い求めた作品や、骨董品店の片隅に飾られていた作品など。
それらは壁にかけるや否や、呼吸を始めたかのように、生き生きと、光を放つ。
中でもハイライトは、友人のJAYA JAVERIの作品。ハンピの情景を描いた２作品はリヴィングルームに。ガンジス川の川辺の情景は回廊に。
ここ数カ月、どんなふうに飾ろうかと、何度も脳裏で思い描いてきた。一旦、飾った後に、やっぱり違うと移動させてみたり。
家具も調度品も、異なる複数の店から購入したにも関わらず、本当にいい塩梅で、調和している。
インド。日本。神話。信仰。伝統。旅。地球。自然。宇宙……。この空間には、物語が溢れている。
日本から戻ったら、また少しずつ調えて、紐解いていく。
