Artist Statement:
It is not a stretch to say
that the widespread acceptance
of Japanese "kawaii" (things
cute) images date back to Zen
and Shinto. They are a product
of a cultural and religious
past. Their charm is drawn
from the belief that spirits
reside in objects. Any
object, natural or manmade
that demonstrates such power
would hold some esteem. The
object is recognizable but
never a representation of
reality. Such things could
remind or return one to their
innocent, more childlike
spiritual self. Think of it
as the eastern nothingness of
sensation, not the western
something of emotiion.
