In the mid-nineteen eighties I moved from Tokyo to Los Angeles. Influenced by a new country and the freedom of expression that went with it, I looked for new ways to explore my theme of impermanence. What does a child paint after it paints abstractions? “flowers,” was the answer that came to me. “flowers in their simplest forms.” flowers which emerge from the void, grow, bloom, wither and die, in tune with the harmonious whole.
