My work is a battleground of opposites. The artist as hunter and prey simultaneously. Our identity of self vs other within one nationality vs another. From one gender to another. At once an outsider and yet inclusive in so many easily recognized social, economic groups. I slip through many boundaries, being neither one not the other, nor both. Of being Japanese and Canadian, violator and violated, conquered and conqueror. My work has arisen out of my interest in the dichotomies that we use to identify and exist beyond our physical differences. Through humour and fear, and subtlety or shock, I journey back and forth between a constellation of viewpoints, histories and locales, in an attempt to contextualize a personal voice.
