My work, as I see it, is to cultivate the garden of creativity by being so wholly present that I am absent, disappearing entirely into the movement of making, and marvelling at what gets made. Later – often much later – meaning might arrive. Or not.
A mind that’s wondering and a heart full of wonder drive my creative life, ensuring I never get trapped in the clutches of any personal style or narrative. For me, the adventure of creativity – of making – overshadows the need to produce a certain kind of art product.
I don’t have things to say; I am simply and unapologetically “on the make.”

The Absolute works with nothing.
The workshop, the materials
are what does not exist.
Try and be a sheet of paper with nothing on it.
Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing,
where something might be planted,
a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.

Seeing hints of a dying method on the pic… very cool! would like to see it done in real life at least once.
Was that meant to be a pun? Sadly, these dyeing techniques are indeed dying out in Japan – but there are many Western artisans exploring their effects in contemporary works.
