Hinako Miyabayashi

“I paint as a “hand” that “accepts” the individual textures and all else that comes with each material: coarsely woven cloth or fine cotton, wood or paper. When I assume I am stretching my own hand out to paint the picture, this “accepting hand” comes to me, takes me in, and sets me free. And thus we move together.
As I sit down to paint, I do not lose sight of all that exists around us. Physical distance is not reducible to gesture, but exists in tandem with space (temperature, humidity, and so on).” – Hinako Miyabayashi
