“Style is everything. Style is eye, window, and view. And, of course, when it serves its purpose, style is beside the point, is rightly subsumed by subjectivity and subject. Perhaps the handiest definition of literature is language where style and subject are inseparable. Sentences have a wisdom that inheres in their structure, syntax, and constituent parts, and not merely in what they purport to signify. I get agitated when I see critics lauding writers for their ‘invisible prose,’ as though style were only a window to be scrubbed out of sight.”

Kirie (by Risa Fukui)
Risa Fukui creates large-scale paper cutouts and hangs them on translucent panels. The intricately cut double-sided pieces cast beautiful shadows on the floor and are on display at the Pola Museum Annex in Tokyo until September 8, 2013.

“"I think there’s this real hysteria to do all things and to be everywhere, and that’s a real mistake. I always say to people, ‘Do what you like, don’t fool yourself. If you don’t like Facebook, people can tell. If you don’t like Twitter, people can tell.’ I always say to people who are reluctant, try things. It’s so much better to tweet for a few days, be disgusted by it, and then have a funny story to tell at a party, than it is to never try it… I encourage people to explore that and be creative… For me, technology has always been amazing in the sense that it should make life easier. If it makes life more complicated, let it go."”
