 “If you could find anything you wish in a pocket what would it be? Write it. Draw it. Leave It in a pocket. Read what others said.”  It continues to grow with thousands of responses to a question. It originated in March 2011, right after the massive earth quake, tsunami and Fukushima nuclear plant incidents which have killed over 18,000 people in Japan, where I am originally from. 

"If you could find anything you like in a pocket what would it be? ”

Artists for Ferguson at Temporary Agency Gallery.

It was one night event and I installed my “POKETTOS” with staple guns.  Temporary Agency Gallery is supported by Chashama, nurtures artists by transforming unused property into work and presentation space.  http://www.chashamaarts.org.  I liked the atmosphere of the gallery, organized by four young female artists who all have met at Hunter College.
