Ayakoh Furukawa-Leonart
Art is nothing but everything to my life. I approach my work with trepidation. As it evolves, I am in the moment, and it becomes transcending. I never know where it will be. I will never understand the mystery that propels the making of Art. To me, Art is not methodology, rather philosophy or my life. Engaging Art deepens my life and makes me a whole human. Though this incomprehensible yet fascinating process, I delight in being transcended. I continue to explore various approaches for my Art, probably until the last day of my life. ....Smile.
