STYLE
RHYTHMS | Layer upon layer, stroke upon stroke, ink glides across the paper. Shifting the paper in my hands, looking for reflections of wet ink, making sure it's dry before adding more and tracing the ink-dried paper with my finger, trying to determine the direction of the future layer, feeling out what resonates. The layers mimic the days: drops offs, walks, berry picking, conversations, painting, strollers, making ink, thrifting for treasure, cooking dinner, one on top of the other, till one-day ends and a new one begins.
INK
WILD GRAPE INK | Back and forth, pushing a stroller, cheering on a scooter, traveling the same paths, you notice your surroundings in more detail. A beautiful old house, a for-sale sign in front, old grape vines wrap around an iron fence—muffled music from a white sedan, a man in a tracksuit on the phone talking excitedly. Casually talking to my Mom on the phone, I take out a gallon bag, parting leaves, gently plucking them, sticky hands, careful not to get stung by the buzzing bees. Rinsing with cold water, removing city grime, stainless steel bowl, and potato masher, straining and funneling into a delicate, syrupy sweet smelling, lavender ink.
TURMERIC INK | With an earthy scent, the brightly yellow kitchen spice is combined with alcohol, left overnight, shaken occasionally, and passed through a coffee filter and glass funnel to make a beautiful bright golden yellow ink.
ACORN INK | Clonk. Clonk, Clonk. Heard outside our window, bouncing off car windshields, off the roof, off the steps and sidewalk. They are both a steady and erratic drum beat, a crescendo with a strong gust of wind, a barely audible tinkering with a little breeze. Littering the sidewalks, driveways, and tree pits, we gather just the caps on the way in and out, saying hi to our kind neighbor. After boiling the acorns for hours, a nutty aroma fills the apartment. The mixture is then strained and filtered until a beautiful, warm gray-brown color is achieved.
PACKAGING | Each painting is stamped with archival ink, with the artist's Japanese last name on the front and a Funabashi studio stamp on the back. The types of ink used, where they were found, the approximate date of creation, and an ID number are all meticulously inscribed by hand and signed with a fountain pen, ensuring the accuracy and authenticity of each piece.
