Artist Profile (Japanese ver./ English ver.)
SATOKO (旧アーティスト名 久遠みさき）
プロセスアーティスト/心理臨床家
25年に渡り深層心理学を礎に医療や教育現場などで心理臨床を継続する傍ら、心理学の枠を超えてシャーマニズムやスピリチャリズムにも関心を寄せていく。
心的次元のさらに内奥にあるたましいの次元での自身のロンギング（切望）についても探究を続ける中で、大自然のフィールドとつながり、そこで湧き上がってくる身体の動きに身を委ねつつ、制作過程で自我のコントロールを超えて生じる事象も「意味ある偶然」として包含していく「プロセス指向アート」の着想を得る。
以後、2014年より米国オレゴンコーストを中心に、南米アマゾンの森やパレスチナ・オリーブの丘、福島の磐梯山など、国内外のインスピレーションを感じるに場所に赴き、制作を重ねる。
書に親しんでいたことから、墨と和紙を用い、現地で出合った枯れ枝や流木、海水などを使って、自らが筆となり、その瞬間に起きるプロセス---「タオ」に従って即興的に創作する手法をSUMI TAO ARTと名付け、活動を展開中。たましいを踊らせながら地球と遊んでいる。

<Artist Profile＞
SATOKO (Artisit name)
Process Artist/Psychologist
I have been a psycho-spiritual therapist in Japan over 25 years. I support many people to be able to live their own life more totality.
Through this work, I also have gotten inspiration that how to become who I am and how to be alive more in this my life.
Then, I begin to start creating the art works from 2014.
I have learned Japanese calligraphy for many years. But, I create my style which is drawing freely on the big Washi (Japanese traditional paper) and SUMI (Traditional black ink for Japanese calligraphy) in the nature by using natural stuff, for example, roots, beaches, leaves, sand etc, instead of Japanese calligraphy’s brush.
My drawing process is very simple. At the beginning, I have no idea what to draw. I pick up natural stuff in the forest or the beach just before drawing. I follow my inspiration within the natural environment. It is a very spontaneous and dynamic process. It is a co-creation process with the earth.
So, I named it "SUMI TAO ART”.
I have been creating the artworks at on the various places in the earth---Yachats,Portland (USA) , Amazon forest (Ecuador), Fukusima,Tokyo (Japan) and so on. Especially, Oregon Coast,Yachats is my home ground for creating the artworks.
The subject matter, to remember ‘ Sense of Eternity ' and ' Sense of Aliveness' by the art.
Through the long-term my life experiences and spiritual practices, I feel that beyond this lifetime, each of us are keep going own soul journey.
But our “this life” is only once.
I hope to inspire that how our this life is precious through my art activity.
