A kind of reinterpreted Japanese aestheticism is often fused with incidental marks and unrestrained brushwork. Having lived in Tokyo for five years, the artist has admired and incorporated the idea that decorative materials, such as mother of pearl inlay, lacquer, and gold leaf, can be used in a painterly, sublime way.
