| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
British sculptor and artist Richard Long makes sculptures, walk-works, for places he encounters during walks, using materials available there, such as stones, sticks, driftwood, grass, snow, and mud. These sculptures will, however, soon disappear or disperse. Such walk-works challenge what is expected of sculpture canonically, and demonstrate the aesthetics of impermanence. This research explores the aesthetics of impermanence and disappearance in Long's sculptures through studying his walk-works created in England and Japan. Publications of research achievements include an article in Japanese, “Ashi no Ato, Te no Ato, Iki no Ato: Richard Long no Chokoku niokeru Shosan” [“Footprints, Handprints, and Trace of Breath: Disappearance of the Sculpture of Richard Long”] published in my co-edited book, Forms of the Everyday: Art, Architecture , Literature, Cuisine (University of Tsukuba Press, 2023), and two articles in English (forthcoming).
