Fresh Mochi Art is proud to present "Moga," a group exhibition featuring six distinguished artists of Japanese and Japanese-American ancestry: Patti Warashina, Catherine Cross Uehara, Hanako O’Leary, Michelle Kumata, Sakura Davis, Erin Shigaki and Elizabeth Jameson. The exhibition title, Moga, is a Japanese portmanteau for modan gāru (Modern Girl), a term originally used in the 1920s to describe women who challenged traditional Japanese social norms by embracing Westernized fashion and lifestyle. In this contemporary showcase, these four artists reclaim and expand the term, using ceramics, drawings, and mixed media to explore the intersection of heritage, gender, and the evolving identity of the modern woman.

Hanako is in process of creating her next work, Kamon, a monumental quilt made from thousands of individually made origami Vulvas. Women and those who identify as daughters are invited to join us for this free, intermediate level origami workshop with Hanako Saturday April 25th 11:00-1:00pm Please contact the gallery at elizabeth@ejameson.com to register for the workshop as space is limited.
