Bye Bye Roswell

Roswell, New Mexico…. I was there for about 15 months since Feburary 2008. It was an incredible time at Roswell Artist in Residency Program. My friend Renee told me that I was the only Japanese woman she knew who truly loved desert…. I really did feel like I was from that climate. Especially working with Hubbits project, I got to know the area and nature around Roswell so much. I knew every single dirt road in Roswell area. I knew where I can go to find particular plants and minerals… I knew where I could find dead cows….seriously. I felt like I owned the whole land… I do and will miss the landscape.

Here is the view from my back porch.

Thank you for everyone I met during my residency. It was such a great time and I will miss you all!! I have no idea where this experience leads me to, but I am looking forward to what I will make in the future. Roswell, please take care of Hubbits… they are still out there living secretly.
