These two pieces were recently juried into the Diptych/Triptych Exhibition at Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati, OH that will run from April 15 to May 15, 2022. These were pieces made from old book covers and displayed on a small ledge. The works were made during my residency at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans, LA in 2019.

This is a current painting that I started a week ago. I've been trying to incorporate my time on the water kayaking into my work somehow. With this piece I thought about Filipino diaspora and our family coming to the U.S. over the ocean from Japan where I was born and where we lived. It also touches on the Philippines being an islands and Filipino's relationship to water. It's still a work in progress, but I'm happy with the water connection so far.  The Filipino segment shot in New Orleans is the first in the Take Out doc-series with Lisa Ling on HBO. The segment was directed by Lisa Yadao and my swimmers were animated by Julia Liu. It's a quick animated piece using my swimmers to illustrate the Filipino's jumping off a Spanish ship. My 7 seconds of fame, ha!  |
