Home



Home is on my mind a lot lately.

Like, where is my home? I haven't lived in Toronto since 1995. I haven't lived in any one place for more than 3 years at a time, really.



When I lived in Japan, I thought it was so weird that people put so much into their cars - decorations, slipper trays, fancy cup holders. But then I realized that it was because in most households in Japan, there is no privacy. People make their cars their "home."

I think I do that with my art space...

Although there's been times when that home was a sarong, some pencil crayons and glue.

1. My first place in Toronto, when I was a U of T student.
2. Suisan Fisheries School, Tokushima, Japan
3. Tokushimakita High School, Tokushima, Japan (Look for the stuffed moose and beaver.)
4. Housesitting, Melbourne, Australia (Oh, Canadian flag here too!)
5. Campground, Darwin, Australia
6. Takoma Park, Maryland
7. Cabin in the mountains, Guerneville, California
8. Sebastopol, California (I shared this space with a writer. It was across the street from the cemetary.)



















I like that my current home has sunshine and taiko. I might stay here awhile.
