   i thought
   the rocks
   were offerings
   or a symbol
   that you
   had been there...
   beautiful
   polas.
   i so want
   to go
   back to
   japan.

   first of all those two pieces may just be my very favorite of yours... ever... stunning and fresh.
   
   as for the shrines, i love the polas...
   
   and as for the rocks, though this might not be at all why the Japanese do it, i know that in Jewish culture (or maybe just my family?) people leave rocks on loved one's graves to let them know they paid a visit.
   
   have a great weekend! xo

   i have to agree with eshu...these pieces are incredible; love the crisp colors and negative space, definately my favorites so far.
   
   and can i just say that i had no idea the jupiter was having an art fair this weekend... oh i really really hope it's still in full swing on sunday, because it's my only day off. i can't wait to see your work in person!
   
   also, the polas of the hanging shoes are some of the most beautiful images i've seen in a long while.
   
   thanks for the wonderful post. :)

   Love your artwork, so delicate and springy :) Thank you for sharing more beautiful polaroids from Japan, really fascinated by the collection of shoes on the shrine gate.

   Piles of rocks seem so comfortable to be for some reason... I love your polaroid shots all the time!!! I wish I was in Portland this weekend.. There are a few wonderful things going on, and I would have to sneak in savoring your work!! Alas, I am not there, so I will dream.... xxo

   Loving the spring-like colours indeed! Especially now that it's starting to get cold.
   
   Did you find out why they hang shoes on the shrine? Curious to know...

    "a conversation of chairs" ... sorry but that's what came to mind when I saw this great work of yours.
    congratulations on your work being in the fair. it must feel strange not to be able to attend though.
    you keep on tempting me with Japan :)
    those 2 polaroids with the shoes hanging reminded me of Eva Hesse's work which you know so well.

    vanessa - i know... something about piles of rocks
    
    susan :) thank you so much.
    
    risa - i'm excited to see YOU in person
    
    hi karen - i'm not sure why all the shoes are there - i'm going to guess it has to do w/ pilgramidge. it was the only shrine that i went to that had shoes....
    
    thanks comfies... :) we should compare japan photos!
    
    hi julie dear... xo

    More beautiful Japanese polaroids too. So many wondrous things to catch up on in your little blog world.
