“Transmission. Tradition. Transformation. My practiced hands sew sashiko, the humble stitch of Japanese farmers, to respond to my deliberately untrained and spontaneous handling of sumi ink, the media of Asia's literati. The work is the embodiment of a conversation about relationships through gesture, materials, process, and careful observation. Practice. Refinement.” -Lucy Arai
