Studio Works

The studio is a site of experimentation, attention, and learning shaped by the artist’s lived movement across places and time. Working through printmaking and works on paper, as single works and spatial installations, the artist follows an urgency to trace ideas as they travel through material, repetition, and chance. Some gestures become lasting works; others remain provisional. Together, they reveal how memory, connection, and location move, pause, and shift over time.

Memories

Remembering Tohoku (2011–2014)

Two interconnected projects shaped by distance, memory, and action, unfolding across sky and sea.

Lines of Passage

Lines of Passage brings together installations and works on paper that trace connection, distance, and movement through line, air, and suspended form.

White threads descend from the ceiling and connect to needles embedded in a white wall, forming a quiet field of vertical lines.

PLACE Prints

These works move between representational and abstract imagery, drawing from locations in Japan and the United States. Cityscapes, power poles, airplanes, and patterned landscapes reflect how place is shaped by movement, memory, and lived experience.
