A Day in Pt. Reyes

We recently took nice day trip with Jimmy to 10 Mile Beach at Pt. Rays. The surf was very big, so I didn't throw the stick out into the surf for fear of Jimmy getting stuck in the under tow. It was grey, cloudy and a bit damp with some misty precipitation. We stopped at the Drakes Bay Oyster Farm on the way out for a lunch of oysters at a little picnic table looking out onto the rain streaked Drakes Estaro. Jimmy chased sticks and insisted that any one else who came to eat their oysters throw a stick for him also.

October at Fly Trap Studio

It was a pleasure to show at Fly Trap Studio in Oakland, CA. In addition to Dairiki's new body of work, the opening event included performances by Vietnamese Zither expert Van-Ahn Vo and Butoh dancer Judith Kajiwara. Hors d'oeuvres were entirely locally grown at the Winters, CA ranch where Dairiki lives and works, deepening the sensory experience of the works on display. 

The event was a 360-degree experience which allowed viewers to enter Sayako's imaginary landscapes via her paintings, the interpretive works of the other participating artists and the tastes of dried apricots, squeezed pomegranate juice cocktails and pickles made at the Valley Home ranch.
