STYLE
MODERN NATURE | Being outside, feeling the wind on the face, hearing water rushing, gurgling, roaring, smelling pine trees, and feeling cold, wet sand followed by soft, squishy moss are both intoxicating and calming. When painting, the circles mirror the sun and the moon, and the brush strokes imitate rushing wind, water lapping, the strength of mountains, or the silent paths we take. These are friendly reminders to seek shelter in the beauty where there are none.
INK
POKEBERRY BERRY INK | Pokeberry weeds grow in untamed front yards and neglected backyard alleyways in Astoria. Fuchsia stems and warm purple berries stand out against the Corinthian-bleached white railing. As you pick the berries, their juice bursts into your fingers, leaving a saturated fuchsia stain on your hands, making you feel like a murderer. Gliding on the paper as the hottest pink, drying and darkening into a beautiful aubergine or wine, pokeberry ink is the ultimate in pure botanical saturated color.
COPPER OXIDE INK | A large glass container, a few copper sponges, a well-ventilated room, some vinegar, some salt, careful tending through night and day and in and out of weeks to achieve this wild turquoise color. First, pale and barely visible upon the pebbly paper, drying into a bright turquoise, pooling at the edges. A playful ink painted on the pokeberry acts as a bleach, changing it from deep purple to a warm, tea-stained brown.
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.
