"In my work I draw from the ancient and the contemporary to express the mismatched combinations and hodgepodge which is Japanese daily life. Also, I am interested in the humorous and colorful aspects of Ukiyo-e poster art. In my portraits I want to incorporate an element of wit through exaggeration and distortion. To express contemporary influences I use the figure dressed in Western style. My prints explore the complex relationship of paper, ink and etched plates to describe my thought, as well as the relationship which occurs between figures and space."
