I will be presenting an evolution of my Motion Studies series that I call Motion Studies Dissected at this exciting fine art photography festival in Kyoto. It’s been a while since I had a solo show and this series is evolving so I am especially interested to bring this new work to Kyoto. I exhibited at the KG+ festival last year and had a wonderful experience. There are many shows, big and small, tucked into neighborhoods throughout the city.

Kyotographie and KG+ (official satellite event), now in their 8th year, form the core of a month of photography in Kyoto, Japan, running from mid-April to mid-May. 

In addition to a theater, there are a few galleries in this historic building — here are the other artists who will be exhibiting at this gallery (but not the same week I am exhibiting):

  • Ms. Kazayu Natsuike, photographer (also 2014 KG+)
  • Clément OUVRARD (painter, mixed media)

This was an amazing exhibition in a beautiful beautiful building that actually has two tea rooms (in two styles @urasenke) in it. For an extra fee, they serve Matcha in the tea room. It’s not a full Tea Ceremony where they make the tea in front of you but it’s a mini Tea experience with a custom-made wagashi confectionary that was made just for the show and matches the aesthetics of the artist’s photographs. The photographs are beautiful, but the context of the exhibition design adds so much to the experience and of course that’s one of the greatest strengths of the kyotographie festival.

During an artist residency on Yakushima Island, I set out to observe the fleeting moment that exists between night and day—a moment so subtle it often goes unnoticed.
In ancient Japan, it was believed that ominous spirits roamed the night and vanished with the break of dawn. In modern urban life, however, the boundary between night and morning has become blurred, almost imperceptible. On Yakushima, I entered the forest before sunrise, hoping to encounter that ambiguous threshold.
