My drawings are strongly influenced by Japanese Manga (comics), my favorite form of art and literature since my childhood in the US and through my adolescence in Japan. To this day, the narrative and formal possibilities of the Manga genre continue to fuel my imagination and curiosity. I am especially interested in the implication of Time and Space inherent to Manga and comics, that is, the representation of disparate moments (frames in a comic book) within one picture plane. This Time/Space relationship is one that I often experiment with in my recent work. I am also fascinated by the endless possibilities afforded by the interplay between text and image, and the many ways in which the most creative Manga artists have exploited this relationship. The exploration of the tension between text and image seems especially pertinent in Japanese society, in which so little goes unspoken, its members are constantly depended upon to read between the lines, and disagreement is more often than not socially unacceptable. Thematically, I like to explore the question of human sexuality and its complex social, cultural, and linguistic dimensions as manifested in Japan and the US. I approach this highly confusing and personal subject with equal parts humor and honesty. The Manga and Anime genres, so often a vehicle for fantasy and fiction, are rife with representations of eroticism, whether in the astoundingly prolific erotic manga world, or in the seemingly innocent depictions of naive, virginal young girls and boys.
