DESCRIPTION

Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper | 2021

These original works by Shibuya capture her iconic style of tranquil watercolor painting that is meant to be viewed as a meditation; a space to capture the energy between expression and canvas. The artist writes poems as a way to express the motivation and purpose of the works she creates. Below is her poem “Flowing,” written about this series, “Time Machine”:

From the mountains
life flows,
into the ocean
cycle flows.


Flowing from one,
flowing to the next,
one never knows,
when to rest.


Flow from the fountain,
bubbling life,
flow from the meadow,
flying high, floating high.


Flow, flow, flow,
not a doubt except light.
Flow through the clouds,
flow through the fog,
flow, flow, flow.


Flowing through life,
once upon a time,
flow life,
flow time,
flow guide,
flow mine.
