They walk past my house two times every day. Gunma is known in Japan for strong winds and strong women. It is November. Comes the Wind.

This piece began with no plan, no sketches, just free- cutting cloth until it released the image. Yellow Bali cloth starts to become a coat. Suddenly, the arms, hands, and face are all there in that one cutting process. Add/ subtract until the art reaches level at 0.
