Artist profile:
They are all imaginary creatures, so-called imaginary friends. They are made visible through the medium of Yamada Daruma, and the numbers in the titles refer to the dates they met.
The appearances are all misshapen, strange, and very amusing, often with shapes that seem somehow familiar. They offend our senses as we live in reality. You will surely explore and ponder the function of the shapes, the unusual number of eyes and limbs, and the reasons for them. They are born and disappear in the imagination.
The leg-like things could be hands, and the hand-like things could be a head. It may have two visible eyes, but actually it has three more in the back. It doesn't matter what it is. It's a very fun imaginary friend.
