KO Opening Show @ Studio Intent Thursday October 6, 2011

My current work is a continuation of Anatomoto, a series of work I did for my previous show (June 3, 2011). Although the previous pieces were large and serious, these small 8×8″ mixed media pieces are playful and fun. These pieces are made to understood at face value. They are made from vintage archived geisha photographs and recent Japanese fashion magazines that have been xeroxed and slightly manipulated. They are monochromatic in patriotic Japanese color schemes. It is a play on old/new and technology and how it has become so intrinsic in our day to day communication with each other.
