Yuki's Wedding Book Cover Design 「ユキのウェディングボックの表紙デザイン」
I am very happy to say one of my former seminar student, Yuki Sakou (class of 04) got married recently. She designed the cover for her wedding book, and in it she used a photo of my sculpture piece which I have shown in January exhibition at Blackfish gallery. I am pleased to say an angel image of my work appears to be very appropriate with the subject of wedding and works well in her cover design. The cover reminds me of poster Yuki (yuki is snow in Japanese) designed for 2004 Ikeda sculpture seminar exhibition. 2004 group including junior seminar students was an exceptionally talented and energetic group, and many of them appear to take interesting directions after graduation. I hope them further success. And I hope Yuki and her husband a continual happiness.
元道都大学で私の彫刻ゼミのゼミ長だった、酒向ユキさんが今年の一月に結婚した。彼女の教師だった私にとっては大変嬉しい出来事だ。彼女はウェディングボックのカバーを自分でデザインし、そのデザインの中に最近制作した私の作品のイメージも入れた。エンゼルのイメージで結婚の内容に合うし、又、デザインの雪(ユキ)のモヨウとも合うようでけっこう私好きで気にいっている。この表紙のデザインを見ていると彼女が2004年のイケダゼミ展のポスターをデザインした時を思い出す。あれからもう6年たつのかと思ってしまう。三年生もふくめて2004年の時のゼミ生たちは大変優れたグループでそれぞれ面白い道をしっかりと進んでいるようだ。ユキもだんなさんと幸せな家庭をこれから築いていくんだろうなと思いながらこのポストを書いた。

That is a wonderful tribute from a former student to a teacher.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Helen. As far as teaching, I've been very fortunate as I've been blessed with wonderful students.
