My new work, Thinking of You 1 & 2
“Thinking of You 1 & 2”
94 x 94cm each
Mixed media on canvas, framed
We have lost our freedom to travel because of the Corona pandemic at the moment. We can still talk on the phone, we can see each other on the monitor srteens, but I still feel the distance.
We can’t touch, smell or feel the warmth of other people through machines.
I created the artwork while thinking of someone who lived far away and wish for them a happy and healthy life.
You are not alone.

Watching the geese flying
More than one thousand years ago, female writer Sei shonagon wrote in her famous Pillow Book, “The best time of the day in Autumn is the sun set…. It is more interesting to see that the flock of geese are flying far away……”
１０００年以上前の随筆集、枕草子に女流作家の清少納言がこう書きました。“秋は夕暮れ。（中略）まいて雁などの連ねたるがいと小さく見ゆるは、いとおかし（後略）”
I created this artwork responding to Sei shonagon’s quote.
The big moon in the sky watches the flock of geese in the early hours of the evening. I always enjoy watching the flock of geese flying in the sky.
清少納言が書いたことに対する私なりの表現をアートで表しました。
日が沈んだばかりの空に大きなお月様が顔を出し、雁の群れをみまもっています。雁の群れを見るといつも素敵で、なんとも穏やかな気持ちにさせてくれます。
I donated this artwork for Art Gallery of NSW staff charity exhibition.
All the money will go to Women & Girls Emergency Centre in Redfern.
