Personal work

Artwork I made during my residency at Almost Perfect in Taito-ku, Tokyo.

Inspired by the city and its people, I drew a geisha letting her hair down. She mirrors the painting 'Ophelia' by John Everett Millais,

a nod to my Western background.

Photo by Jaime Miki. Displayed as three panels during my show 'A few hours in Tokyo' in July 2022.
