I am drawn to textures, it is part of what gives me pleasure in painting and sculpture as well, there are evolutionary explanations for our attraction to patterns and textures. It is survival, we are constantly looking for changes in the environment that will indicate danger or hunting. For me it is simply an aesthetic or sensual need, my fingers seek contact with materials. As a student, I spent six months in Japan as part of a student exchange. It was a mixed experience. On the one hand, the Japanese aesthetic is amazing, almost perfect, but gives just the right amount of room for imperfection, chaos, and disorder. Attention to detail is everywhere. The way in which a simple restaurant shapes your plate, the way gifts are wrapped, the design of the shop windows. On the other hand, I felt trapped within the Japanese concept of art, and in the rigid social order, everything is measured, everything is under control.
