Ukiyo-e, or “pictures of the transient world of everyday life,” was pop art that existed long before any modern artistic movement. At the height of its popularity in the 18th Century, these Japanese woodblock prints portrayed a new urban lifestyle available to the growing middle class. As an homage to the spirit of Ukiyo-e, my work incorporates these same elements of beauty, fashion and leisure with a fusion of anachronistic content.
