On 10.11.14 I presented THE RAKUSU PROJECT, Feel of the Needlein the ACOG (A. C. Occasional Gallery), my studio gallery/zendo space. Twenty-one rakusus, I had hand sewn using a wild and wide variety of papers, each illustrating a haiku by the Japanese mendicant monk, Santoka Teneda, were installed. The installation was a part of a performance in which Lynn Miller (performer, writer) modeled the rakusu and read the attendant haiku to the gathered crowd before being installed in the gallery. A video of the performance will be posted when available.
