2012 Symposium
I am very much interested in Saint John and the East Coast in Canada.
Grand land and sea, and the wind of the ground will certainly suit the concept of my sculpture. My sculpture is expressing time. My sculpture will make the scenery of ancient Saint John imagine exceeding space-time far.
Work of my sculpture will certainly give activity and joy to a life of people of Saint John.
I work by Saint John very earnestly. I make certainly wonderful sculpture.
I promise that.– Hiroyuki Asano
I am continuing the work which expresses time by being made from a stone.
The stone was born very much in ancient times.
The stone has very long life.
I have the thought whose ancient times can be far seen, if the other side is seen.
I make a hole in the stone. The vacant hole in the stone is a hole of time.
The hole of the time will give us the scene beyond space-time.
Moreover, the wind beyond space-time will come from the hole.
The sculpture itself will impress for a long time.
