There are two things I love about printmaking--process and accidents. The longer and more difficult the process is, the bigger satisfaction I get from the finished piece. And accidents give unintended effects which I can never create in any other media because I'm a control freak. The first tornado consists of 14 colors, and the second one has 21 colors. There will be a third and last sequence to finish the whole story, but I haven't even started yet. The two prints took long time and a lot of energy, but I'm happy that they turned out somehow different and a lot better than I had thought they would be.
I don't know if my Japanese background has any effects in my image making, but I always make things not because I want to tell something, but to see something. There is no message or purpose; it's all about the images that please my eye .
