"Takizawa's works are created by intuitive processes of making patterns by drawing, painting, carving, cutting, and printing. He is constantly mentally engaged with how he wants to move. He look for formal reactions, ideas between the contemporary and personal history, perspective, thought, Japanese heritage, and permanent memory.

Takizawa's work is about his fascination with water, its ripples, and its reflections. He is recreating his emotional reactions to how water seems to flow freely and continuously, by using recursive printmaking processes and mark-making techniques to imitate that movement.

The patterns on the installation works and prints are forever repeating patterns in his head. And the process of creating these images is also a forever-repeating process of drawing, cutting, carving, and printing."
