Due to rain, we were able to set up the installation a day early. This morning was dedicated to taking documentation photographs of the exhibit.
For lunch, I enjoyed a meal prepared by KIYA. The highlight was the dessert: a delightful combination of Hirono mandarin agar and milk agar. The balance was perfect – just the right level of sweetness complemented by a subtle tartness.
When I go out into the city, I suffer in two ways: struggling with mobility as a pregnant woman(now is child care woman) and facing limitations in presenting my work.
This is the artwork of old book 12shi ko illustration.
This book is memorable for me as I read this after born my child in 2024.
I carefully sew each piece of fabric together. While it’s easy to become absorbed in the detailed handwork, I’ve realized the importance of taking time to spread out the entire piece and observe it from a distance. This allows me to see how each part resonates with the others and what role they play in the whole composition. Stepping back provides new perspectives and insights.
Tuesday, 20250211 – National Foundation Day (Kenkoku Kinen no Hi)
New drawings from Hirono Artist In Residence – a two-base project.
I once planned this as a 5-meter piece, but I’m choosing a different way now. Instead of sleepless nights and missing moments with my kids, I’m embracing a sustainable approach. Here’s to consistent creation and balanced living. Surprised at myself, but I’m happy I could make this choice.
I, Moeko, Dolly, featured in an official article by Hirono Town. This town’s latest efforts at community building with art have really made an impact like an art fair( https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/9299afbcce9f6042456f6a963edf7df6f69385fe )are in revitalizing the community through art for the past five years.
As part of the Dual-Region Residency Artist-in-Residence 2024, I will be hosting a workshop from February 1st to February 5th.
