Talking myself...






I need to get away...!!

need exploring in peaceful and dreaming place...
could be Europe, 
could be  South East Asia...

I never go to 
South America yet.
Maybe there...
Oh wait, I really want to go to the Island of Hawaii!!!!
to jungle explore and have natural hot spring...!!!  
Awwwwwww...




Pics from last summer in Europe

-Paris, France-
Visited Paris and Lyon in France.
Delicious food and beautiful city as always.
















-Venice, Italy-

Love, Love, Love!
I went to Venice, lake como and Torino.
I love Italian people so much!!!!!
Very fun!!













-Toledo, Spain-
I fell in love with this Holy and Peaceful place.

The trip was supposed to a half day-short trip from Madrid
 but I fell in love with this old city and decided to stay there.
My flight was in 2days to go back to NYC
but
 I really wanted to spending time there.
 Then, I went to back to Madrid 
to get my backpack 
and 
come back to Toledo next day to stay one night.

It was busy before the flight but
 I was VERY VERY HAPPY.

(I run to the airport but I am proud of my decision ;P
just I wanted to stay there more...)
































I remember the spirit of Toledo.

Beat 1





I had a live installation performance with Kenichi Nakajima at Ideal Glass in November.
I had a lot of experiences and got to learn from this collaboration
 and
 the team Ideal Glass/ group of the artists.

Fortunately we had this great opportunity unexpectedly and had many audience.
We appreciate to Willard Morgan and team Ideal Glass!!
They are supper!!!!!



The set before the live











  
The set after the live Installation


Actually there are many sculptures around this set.
Those are hanging from ceiling and also audience could see those shadows too. 





After the show



- Beat -


We have "beat" inside us.
The "beat" are the rhythm of blood and breath
and
the movement of internal organs and muscles.
And the beat are emotions such as love, anger and sadness.


Music generally has regular rhythms like two beat and eight beat.
But our beat are not only regular rhythms but those are also like arrhythmia.


Our sound, color and movement are the "beat" and flow out from our soul.
Those beat are often overlapped, discorded and harmonized.


Every things will come out from us including ourselves are going to be part of the live installation.

The artist in the woods





The artist, Grace Knowlton lives and works in this warm and peaceful place.
She lives with trees, flowers, plants and small veg garden.
And two black poodles.














There are five artist studios in her garden 
and
 many artists are working/ living in this place.



This is my ideal place...
One day, I want to stay and work this place too.


Grace 's house and studio




 We got lunch from local fresh delicatessen and
had it in the garden deck at her place.


Her name is engraved on back of the vintage fork. 
She said the name is her grandma's name.

1828
Grace


I entranced the beautiful fork...

Grace has high sense of interior too.

I visited to an amazing artist Grace knowlton 's art studio
 and 
home to upstate NY with my artist friend.


Grace Knowlton's sculptures.


Her sculptures are all over in her huge garden!   


Grace Knowlton's sculptures.

Those sculptures look like stone but some of them are not really heavy
 and those are made by some light weight mediums.



The kiln for ceramic.





"Gator crossing the bridge..."
This is a part of her personality. 
cute...


Grace Knowlton's sculptures.


Moss are grown on her works.
Little birds are enjoying themselves on her sculptures. 
Dogs are run next to her works.
Trees and flower are singing and swinging.

The artist is working at the place.





I impressed a lot from her. 


Something has changed inside of mine...

The day was BIG for me.
