Artist Statement:
Soyokaze; Journey to Japan
As soon as I landed in Japan,
I started collecting printed
materials. Chop-stick
wrappers, maps of Cities,
lunch-tray adornments, hotel
brochures, train schedules,
invitations to art shows.
Japanese esthetics: attention
to detail, a sense for bright,
often neon colors, portraiture
of “cute” , “kitsch” and
“beauty”. My paintings are a
compilation of maps and
imagery I found in those
brochures and hand-me outs in
Japan.
I work with children, creating
public art sculptures out of
plastic toys they collect from
home. The children’s esthetics
includes using glitter,
googely eyes, pom-poms, glue.
I paint with rollers, brushes,
make prints with balls, cups
and containers, let the paint
drip and spill. It is an
obsession about the process of
painting.
