In downtown Nagoya there is a gold one, in Yoshinoyama we found one that was covered in cherry blossoms, in the mall near our home they installed a bright pink one and in my final week in Japan my friend and I drove an hour and a half to see one that was painted Matcha green!
I absolutely LOVE Japanese mailboxes! They’re usually bright red, although you occasionally see them in different colors or with a special motive like this beauty we found in Yoshinoyama. They’re almost as tall as I am and they have this wonderful rounded pillar shape. They’re real statement pieces on the streets of Japan.
Sadly you don’t see them as often anymore, they’re slowly being replaced by smaller, more mundane square boxes but this makes seeing one in the wild extra special!
Luckily now that they are becoming more rare they have also become travel destinations in and of themselves. The other day I learned there is a giant one somewhere in Tokyo, I immediately added a Google pin to my ever growing list of places I need to visit when I travel back to Japan one day.

Out of all the flowers the Ume blossoms are my favourite. I have such wonderful memories of walking through huge groves of weeping plum trees in full bloom. The smell is absolutely amazing, they smell exactly like Japanese plum wine tastes!
Every year, droves of people will come to see the perfectly round buds burst into life and celebraste the coming of spring.

The painting reveals strength and beauty! I wanted to paint in black and white as a reminder to myself, that just because something is black and white, doesn’t always mean it’s dull and out dated. There’s a beauty in black and white. There’s even a sense of strength and boldness that come with it.

These works are inspired by Plato's Theory of Forms; I want to make physical an idea. The polyhedra are imperfect, physical representations of ideas that exist in the strictly non-physical, conceptual realm. What qualities do all particulars share, and how do these properties inform a universal ideal? What makes a chair a chair, a triangle a triangle, a tetrahedron a tetrahedron?
The industrial throughline of steel brings a utility and strength when used to depict symbols of perfection in the world. I was initially drawn to metalwork over ten years ago because of the material's durability, and how the medium lends itself to industrial design applications. Plato’s inquiries into the timeless perfection of imagined geometric shapes, and into how geometries might lie behind all nature, inspire me to make objects that (though necessarily imperfect because they will never have perfect straight edges, and must eventually erode) tease our minds toward the perfect.
