東條は、「日々の生活の中で生まれた感情に手を伸ばそうとすると、あっという間に逃げてしまう。それが波のように押し寄せてくることもある。そんな掴みどころのない気持ちを掬い上げて残しながら、自分の気持ちに寄り添うような作品を作りたい」と述べている。

She expresses the emotional movements she experienced in her daily life in concrete forms such as women, children and animals. At first glance, her works colored with wood carving are warm and cute, but have a feeling of solitude and loneliness.

Tojo stated, “when I try to reach out to the feelings that were born in my daily life, I run away in no time and sometimes it comes back like a wave. I would like to create a work that cuddles up to my feelings while leaving such elusive feelings by scooping them up.” The wood carvings born through dialogue with trees, which have a pale color as if they had sprung out from her picture book, remind us of the memories of returning back to life and the emotions accompanying them.
