Komachi Goto
I am a Japanese artist working and living in Edinburgh, and I have been living in the UK since 1987 studying FineArt.
I couldn't speak English at the beginning, and Drawing and Paintings became my language to communicate.
With my odd pronunciation, I still rely on 'signal' the body language, trying to catch hints and clues between the words.
The 'reading between the line' was essential to me to build a relationship in a new environment.
I enjoy having a conversation with friends, but I hesitate to speak out. To avoid awkward moments of repeating questions due to my use of English and the pounanciation.
This lead myself to be an observer and although I do speak out now, i now widen my observing skill to not only to human society but with pets, wildlife and plants.
I find there are signals in every creature if I observed long enough. I collect those moments that I noticed and capture them in my mind; then I try to release them into my sketchbook, canvas, or anything I can find to scribble them on. And if the image I have drawn were unreadable, I will practise over and over until I suceseed. from which I will work and develop them into often series of paintings.
