Statement:
After decades of living in the United States, I am still surprised that my work continues to be influenced by the cultural tradition of my up-bringing in Japan. In my work, I explore the boundaries of East and West through absence and presence, void and volume.
Water, Earth and Sky is created with silk organza. The bottom represents water, the heavily embellished gold area, earth, and the upper section, sky. The translucent and transparent qualities of silk organza express the mysterious nature of Water, Earth and Sky, our universe.
