A Certain Solitude
Words cannot overstate the impact Japan has had on my life and perspective. Having visited for the first time in April 2016, the experience essentially overhauled my view of the world. The focus on community, quality, efficiency, integrity.. The list can go on, but needless to say it had a profound influence on my eye, and marks a large turning point in my work. Mixing its aforementioned virtues with the tangible sense of isolation I felt both in myself & Japanese culture, “A Certain Solitude” came together in the form of a solo show at Great State Gallery in Chicago, IL in August 2017.
