The yearning for a quiet and simple life—to be surrounded only by what is essential and meaningful. To contemplate and marvel at nature and create beautiful experiences. “Katachi,” which in Japanese means “form and design,” is a mindset of putting together, and composing all things purposefully and functionally. My travels to Japan made me admire how the people expressed this in every aspect of their daily life. I had the pleasure of learning the Japanese art of knotting and wrapping cloth. It is fascinating how the Japanese artistically wrap a bento box and its contents. This wall installation, “Linya,” is my expression of reverence for all things natural and beautiful. Think of this as my biggest gift to you. A larger-than-life bow drawn from a single line—gracefully merging, continuously connecting, like ribbons overlapping and receding; giving depth and drama as light dances around, casting playful shadows from the layers of intersecting curves and lines of rattan.
