Purpose of the residency

My purpose for this residency is to integrate Japanese aesthetics into my painting and installation. As my installation work has been inspired by specific spaces, the new challenge in Japan will enrich my practice. I will explore Japanese folktales, as narrative qualities are currently one of my focuses. Additionally, I'll research unique minimalist aesthetics in Japanese architecture and see what Junichiro Tanizaki has observed in shadows, potentially incorporating them into my final installation. I will also continue making drawings on paper.

Plan during the residency
  • Research Japanese architectures and related history for inspiration. I will also explore Japanese traditional folktales for research purposes.
  • Create drawings and paintings on paper: Produce small studies incorporating geometric forms, maps, and images gathered from research.
  • Find a suitable space where I could make small studies for installation work or practice the use of light and shadow.
  • Collaborate with local media artists, potentially including a sound artist.
  • Prepare for an open studio or exhibition featuring an installation work, possibly incorporating collaborated pieces.
