Jin Young Yu

I've just discovered this amazing Korean artist called Jin Young Yu on one of Stella Im Hultbergs blogs, lovely distractions.

Stella recently did an interview with Jin young yu for Arrested Motion which you can read here.

It's an interesting read and the images are captivating and unsettling.

Young yu says of her work "My works are about people who, instead of getting along with others, choose to keep a distance from them, and be invisible or be left alone unconcerned. Instead of trying to fit into the world, they climb into a space of their own and reject other people’s intrusions".

She explores themes that are close to my heart and my own experience and so I find her images to be very thought provoking, and more to the point, emotion provoking.

Hope you look at her work further. Enjoy.

Yuka's dance night in Yokohama

Last night I was invited to Crib in Yokohama by Yuka, one of the teachers I work with. I don't know where she gets the energy after teaching a class full of 6 yr olds every day, but in her spare time she likes to dance and is part of a dance team.

I went with some other teachers and had a great time, I loved the dancing and the 80's outfits! It was good to listen to some great music played through some proper speakers too instead of through my laptop. As soon as we arrived and the dj was playing a reggae set I knew it was the place for me:)

Go Yuka Go!!!
