鹿角の彫刻
鹿の角を輪切りにすると、切断面の中央から外郭にひろがる模様がある。その模様のままに彫刻を施して光とし、金箔を押した。光の前にあるのは、時に顔であったり、手であったりもする。本作品では右手が彫刻されており、自身が仕留めた鹿の体に当てた手がモチーフとなった。少し前まで生きていた鹿の体に手を当てる行為は儀式のようでもある。
白鹿にまたがり現れた天津神や、鹿の角の間に磔刑のキリストを見た聖人の逸話のほか、神の使いとして鹿は数多くの神話に登場している。鹿の角に光を見出し、無心に彫刻していく作家の感性は、いにしえに人々が理解していた鹿のもつ神性を捉えている。
台座はガラス製で、作家であり友人の熊谷氏との共作である。

【 PROFILE 】
Daichi Goda moved to Tochigi from Tokyo and learned beekeeping and then started art activities and hunting in Niigata.
He says that he does not waste the wild life so tries to use everything as he can.
His theme is MEGURU, which is a Japanese word that means "circulation".
Long ago, we got a lot of things from the mountains and lived with wild animals.
Mountain was a holy place for humans.
These days, our lifestyle has changed a lot and we do not need wild animals and have to get rid of them as vermin.
Most hunters do it not for fun and they also want to use the killed animals as much as possible with great respect for life.
Daichi Goda hunts by himself and also gets horns and borns from other hunters.
He tries to do "MEGURU" for sustainable coexistence between people and nature.
