Friday, June 11, 2010. Turns out I have quite the talent for procrastination. I am currently supposed to me madly hammering away for an upcoming exhibition but I today I got a little distracted. Brilliant blue skies, warming sun, the odd rumbling truck and studio roller door up. Tomorrow shall be much more productive! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Kamberra Winery, Canberra.

染メル so-meru: February 2014

Wednesday, February 26, 2014. Australia - Land of Parrots　オーストラリア　～　オウムの地域. 初めて日本に住んで来た時、鳥がほとんど居ないことにびっくりしました。窓から鳥のさえずりが聞こえませんでした。カラスや川原で座っている人の食べ物を盗むトンビ以外はあんまり鳥が見えませんでした。作品では、大体鮮やかな鳥を描写するので、よく日本人が「その鳥は本物じゃないでしょう？」など、「その色は嘘でしょう？」を聞きます。自慢いっぱいで、この鳥はもちろん本物のように書いていると語ります。それで、どこにも居ると伝えます。 No doubt these guys are circling above some tourists ready to ruin their picnic. おにぎりを盗むのが大好きなトンビたち。 Clever crows making a mess on garbage day. ゴミの収集日が大好きなずるいカラスたち。 この2月、オーストラリアで三週間を過ごしていたら、野生鳥の数で逆カルチャーショックのような...Mapping Our...

染メル so-meru: January 2015

http://so-meru.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Thursday, January 22, 2015. New Works and Revelations 新作と気づいたこと. I was bent over the outdoor wash trough wearing industrial rubber gloves and washing resist paste off my fabric in FREEZING. Cold water as it SNOWED on a SUNDAY and thinking, "how did it come to this? ある日曜日、雪が降っていて、教室の外で凍りそうな水に生地を洗っていたところに、「こうゆう作業状況って何なん〜！」と泣きたくて思った。 Even the industrial rubber gloves were feeling a bit thin that day. 雪が降っている間、外での水洗い. Why do I always end up finishing things at the last minute? Sometimes it's even after.

染メル so-meru: August 2014

http://so-meru.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 25, 2014. The Vagueness of Textiles and the Fake-ness Trap of Art. There’s a few words in Japanese that I miss when speaking English. There’s just no words to replace them in English that have quite the same feel or roll off the tongue in the same way. For example, y. Just as I expected) sasuga. That's so typical) naruhodo. It all makes sense now) or bimyo. Vague, hard to categorize). It really shouldn't be. It really is complex. Onigiri opening step-by-step by Sake Puppets. It’s not...

染メル so-meru: Why can't you touch Art? 作品を触っちゃダメって何？

http://so-meru.blogspot.com/2015/03/why-cant-you-touch-art.html

Saturday, March 14, 2015. Why can't you touch Art? The lady in her lurid yellow fitted jacket raced over to me and told me not to touch the artwork. I told her, "But I'm the one who made it; this is my artwork! She frowned and did that Japanese suck-air-through-your-teeth thing and said that if I touched it, other people would think it's okay to touch it too. What if I actually don't mind people reaching out and touching my work? Its fabric, it's washable, it's FINE! Don't roll your eyes at the word "ins...
