curator magazine article

Here is my piece about craft, and the slow movement.

new year

The time for new year resolutions!
I wrote an article about keeping them last year and am trying to take my own advise!

Here is my list for 2010
1. finish projects.
for me this is
a. song with Equator, I wrote this 2 years ago and we are still recording
b. Book arts exhibition
c. exchange project
d. bible workbook for kids
e. my own kids book with illustrations by starry luna and to be translated into japanese


2. eat more healthily
less chocolate more greens


3. be more generous
with time/resources
for me this is connected to being aware of the many things that I am lucky to have. I think giving should always be joyful or else there is no point.


4. Write everyday
I have been doing some form of writing everyday whether a journal, notes, poems etc and I want this to continue.

staying focused is the key perhaps.

found some old pics of Tokyo ;)

relaxing, not just in a spa but DOING NOTHING. I find this hard, my mind buzzes. I can do it a little if I sit on my roof and pray. Sometimes I dance on the roof but I also find in the times after exercize or watching the sun setting I can finally have the space to hear things clearly.
 I recently re-discovered Terry Hershey`s writings and found out he has new book coming out about pausing. Check out his video about stopping HERE

ShimuraBros

New article for ArtiT I like their use of technology, it is very media savy and magazine friendly and works well in print. I like the clicking of the repetition and the natural technological hybridity.

Mamoru Okuno

Have just written a review  for a friend of mine Mamoru. He is in Tokyo again this week doing performances in Daikenyama.

technology performance teenagers and angles

The name is Bare conductive. The product looks like ink and can be safely applied to the body to create both a line and potentially a way to interface with technology directly. Paint it on touch a bulb and it lights up.

a day with the illusion of sunshine and I am pondering five years in Japan. Why five years? Multiple answers are possible. I like green tea and cherry blossoms. I was in love. I found God. I had steady work and the chance of inspiration, the time to act on it. Its safe here. All of which are true but it seems like its all about the angle.

Working on brain chemistry poems. I was never enamoured with biology, too much winking about the take apart body and pervy science teacher, shame he was probably a nice man. teenagers can be so predictable... again maybe it depends on the angle. Motivate them and perhaps they become the next Melvyn Bragg. Here is a great charity encouraging writers in schools.First Story
