[Interview] Shuji Kudo | NODE BY KUDO SHUJI pursues jewelry that shares the flow of life and time.（2/3）


To view sculpture as a three-dimensional object and then shrink it so that it can be worn.


Kudo says she is inspired by the works of Tomonori Toyofuku, particularly his use of space and spatial arrangement. After studying techniques for two years at a vocational school, she launched her brand with the theme of "wearable art," sculptures that can be worn. Kudo does not design accessories in advance; instead, she creates designs using her unique approach of "starting with an image, then creating an object and condensing it so that it can be worn."

"I made this white object around 2010, and it was a turning point in improving my level as a sculptor. Up until then, my understanding of three-dimensional objects was 'front and back,' which is a combination of 'illusion and reality,' but with this object, I was able to add form to the illusion part. By adding new form to the hollowed-out illusion, complexity was created, and the multifaceted nature of its appearance was expressed," he explained.


"What I always think about is 'diversification of perspective,' where people focus their attention and how they perceive things becomes multifaceted depending on the points they choose to focus on. I value 'things created by the length of time spent communicating between objects and people,' so many of the things at Node by Kudo Shuji may be difficult to understand at first glance, but I create them with care," he continues.
