MY STUDIO

Pow! Finally I got a work space for summer!

 There has no wifi a.k.a. my best friend, and there are lots of temptation from food market near my studio, but I am now ready to restart some research for my thesis and project!
 I am very excited!

夏休み限定の作業場を手に入れた！
大好きなwifiはないし、近くにフードマーケットの誘惑はあるしで大変！笑
学校のスタジオはもう一ヶ月前から3年生の卒展の為に使用禁止になっていて、６月は作業が出来ない鬱憤を募らせる毎日でしたが（その分お外で遊びまくりました）今月からいろいろなことを再開できるので嬉しいです。

Better Pockets

The idea of using pockets instead of bags.

  -  From the 17th century to the late 19th century, most women had at least one pair of pockets, 

  which served a similar purpose as a handbag does today. ('a history of pocket' available on V&A website.)

You wouldn't carry a bag or wallet without putting something in, would you?

But why do we often leave our pockets empty? Do you think pocket has become no longer functional, but just a decoration on your clothes? I have started my research with the idea of 'disused function' from conventional pockets, and eventually tried to re-deign pocket with FLEX(ibility) so that they have better use values.

I'm participating this show at my uni next week.

Please come and see me!

(Exhibitors usually pay some for refreshments but I can't drink at all, so don't miss a chance for free drinks as well!)
