back in may 2007 i had
gone to see a nine inch nails show
it was so impacting i felt
compelled to do something myself
yes, that was the start of this blog.
until then i only had a little template-made website
hidden in webspace like a true shrinking violetta
the new material from nin at that time was called
"art is resistance" and although i understood the intent,
i had to respond to it by naming my new project what 'art' meant to me
and upon pure impulse
picked an idea of a dress with painted wings as the subject matter
how strange, in the process the process took over and it had
shown me once and again how i drag my feet in resistance to it
you see,
i once was a child feeling
free to dream, believe and to soar, and
my heart never ceased to long for
that state that was the truth of me
as i blogged on,
the magic of life took over and
the last four years spent blogging 'coincided' with
the period i dedicated to reclaim my wings
oh, i found a perfect quote along the way:
The beginning of love is at the end of resistance.

hello Yuko
… the first time i run across your work was on this "little template-made hidden website" when i googled with the terms dragon, painting and perhaps something additional and i was totally impressed. since then i passed your site from time to time and witnessed the begin of your blog, and some redesigns.
after following the evolution of your wing dress i'm more than ever convinced that a piece of art is only a masterpiece if the process takes over and begins a life of its own. congratulations! you've got it!
the birds in your video are waiting for you to join them ...
my best wishes, eve
Hello Eve-
It is hard to fully express my appreciation for your support over the years.
The knowledge that you are "getting" my work has been a priceless gift I held in my heart as I continued on, and certainly I will remember in my journey ahead...
Thank you, wholeheartedly.

Your video it's lovely and the way you made the dress it's incredible! Thanks for sharing with us!
