Phases of Citrus
A good friend of mine, Retsu Takahashi is an artist. He graduated from New York’s School of Visual Arts last year–he’s an Illustrator. Seeing Retsu go to NY to pursue his dream of art school was bittersweet for us in Ballard who didn’t want to see him go. Much time was spent with Retsu in the kitchen or at a restaurant table–Retsu loves food more than the average bear. So when we comissioned him to do a piece for us, it made sense to put it in the kitchen. He painted Phases of Citrus for us.
Retsu designed the piece to fit our kitchen. He came out for a brief stay when his fiance Fiona was in town for a conference. Here is the installed piece.
