 "My main sources of inspiration are abstract expressionism, merged with prehistoric and ancient clay figurines, calligraphy. By using contemporary materials, reflecting culture presented in our diverse and modernized environment, I wish to continue the legacy of human’s imagination and connection to the ultimate space of life.  Each artwork is intuitively free-formed and hand built, while I focus on the extension of lines and harmony of the form; similar to the practice of Japanese calligraphy. Complex or simple, I find every form reflects a character I came across in my life in Japan, Ohio, NYC, and elsewhere.

 

While my art forms are sculptural and abstract, I wish the audience to find them as familiar as a flower vase – a form of earth that’s carrying life and energy, freely given from nature."
