Whispered Prayer n.5

I’m currently traveling in North East area in Japan. Spring has just arrived here and everything is so beautiful.

I am so enjoying working with old books that I found in a local library sale.

Many artists say that they are inspired by nature. I might have said similar things and I make organic shapes with thread. But if I were to make a vacation plan, I will go see old art rather than going to mountains. Therefore, I’ve been feeling fake about saying nature inspires me… But recently I realized – I probably am influenced a lot by old Japanese religious way to look at nature as sacred thing. The notion helped me to see my art making differently.

I can’t come up with a New Year’s resolution at the very beginning of the year like everyone else. After the holidays are finally finished, and the big piece that I was working on is completed, I finally had a chance to reflect upon the last year and think about this year.
I feel like I was influenced too much by the outside. I want to be humble and pure, like when I just started making art.
