Updated Website!

I have had a website since last year but it was just only in English. Since I moved to Japan, I will try to do my best to show my work in both Japanese and English. You will see how it goes on my website! Check it out! http://rui-sasaki.com/home.html

Back to Japan.

Nov 25th: I met Yoko who I have known since I was a junior high school student. She is a multi media artist. She is one of artists who I respect! Her solo show will be coming up in Jan 2012. Check her website up! You can click her name and go to the website!

Nov 27th: I went to Arcus in my hometown. Arcus is the oldest art center run an artist in residency program in Japan. Proudly, Arcus is just 15mins away from my house by bike. The open studio was great. I met 3 artists who are from Pakistan, Poland, and China. Their works are interesting! Also, I was attend at an art conference by Ms. Odai (Director of Arcus), Moriya city mayor, and Mr. Hibino (artist). I was impressed at what they were talking about art in Japan! 

Nov 29th: I saw off Anna who is  from Germany and spent time in the AiR in NJ in Sep and Oct at Tokyo Sta. I went to Louis Vuitton Escape to see Alyson Shotz's exhibition. 

Shibuya...

And, I met Ai and went to Chinese tea cafe. 

I have to find a job and decide where I will be in 2012... My new life in Japan just started! Miss the USA but Japan is not bad :-)

Such a beautiful day.

Aida is always looking for food...

I want to live the bright orange house.

I like seeing the layers of mountains.

My studio is yellow or blue everyday and smells something... but cyanotype printmaking is fun and I am getting closer to what I want to make it.

And, I was researching about my display and like the idea of how human observes nature with his/her eyes and try to get accurate data in science.

Window Project

I have been recording the light through the window in my studio since Nov 4th. The light is not strong. It is winter's subtle light in Northern-East New England but I feel the different temperature of sunshine everyday. We have 9-10 hours of sunshine now in Johnson, VT. How much important for me is the window in my studio? I was desperate about my studio without windows last year. I don't know exactly what my interest about windows is... I am working on it through my experimental works.

Also, I have been reading above books since I am in VSC.

Vermont Studio Center

I am in Vermont Studio Center (Johnson, VT) until Nov 18th (for 4 weeks). I am doing Artist in Residency Program as a sculptor.

I love being here and have had a productive time so far. Slow, Relaxing, No pressure... I can read and research a lot for my new projects and focus on my work. I did some experimental works already. What a great environment and atmosphere here !

You will see how much I can get done here on my blog!
