Language As the House of Being: 土と共に
 

Group Exhibition, Setouchi Inner Sea, Shodo Island, 2010 (Permanent Installation)

This work developed in collaboration between artists, the local community and the prefectural government. This work revitalized a traditional building utilizing only materials available on the island such as stone powder, roof tiles and fine clay. While inside this rustic structure, the two circular forms suggest an expansive connection to the earth and sky that surround.

Water Diary (for Kamiyama)
  This work was executed during an artist in residence program I participated in Kamiyama on the island of Shikoku Japan.  Working along the banks of the Akuikawa River I painted calligraphic forms with water in response to a local stone that had a unique jade tone.  Enthralled by the impermanent appearance of water as ink, I recorded these compositions with black and white photographs.

Collaboration
