Curatorial Statement

Drawing and calligraphic mark-making are as essential in Western art as they are in Eastern art. Evident in the works of early American abstract expressionists, calligraphic mark-making continues to be a significant component in contemporary art across all media produced in the East and the West. Today American, Asian and European artists employ drawing and mark-making methodologies outside the formal, figurative, and representational art approaches and aesthetics. Some integrate new media and digital technologies while others consider more direct applications using a variety of media, materials and production processes. Explore contemporary interdisciplinary and multimedia drawing and mark-making applications in SPIRITED CALLIGRAPHY: TEXT, MARKS, AND MEANINGS – EAST AND WEST

Regarding Kokoro Dokoni Kokoni –Where is Heart and Mind, Here?
“I recorded the fluctuations of heart and mind through time and space.”
Regarding Tsunagari – Encounters
"Encounters we have in our daily life can provide the source of explanation in our awareness. Some encounters become void, others extend to form strong bonds. I expressed the dichotomy of human relationships I this work. I used string like style and layered the images.”
Kyomi Tachibana was born in Kochi, Japan in 1979. She graduated from Daito Bunka University in Japan. Tachibana won the Mainichi Calligraphy Exhibition in the Large Character Category in 2006.
