Recommended by Paige (Collections Manager): "Toru Sugita is a California-based Japanese artist and teacher who creates a variety of landscape and city scene prints. He has spent years thinking about changing light and is an expert at capturing each specific type of light that is unique to a place and a moment. On My Balcony I is a beautiful, simple wood engraving that captures a very individual scene: "my" balcony. It isn't lavish or curated; it isn't full of lush plants or exciting people - it's simple and sincere. The intimate process of carving a wood block is felt in this small piece. I feel the block's texture and the quiet moments that the artist spent with it. Now that we often think about curating images of our lives to only present the very best and most exciting aspects of ourselves, I am fascinated by Sugita's emphasis on the ordinary."

Recommended by Rebecca (Gallery Manager): "With the stress we all are under, I feel like I am blowing away, losing myself, organically. Sakuta has captured that feeling of loss. A breeze is all that is needed."

Recommended by Sam (Owner & Director): Sakuta employed the full range of intaglio processes as his preferred means of expression. He imbued trees and other natural forms with human attributes and emotions. His figures often display their personalities through external accouterments.
