"You can find out how to do something and then do it or do something and then find out what you did." ~ Isamu Noguchi
︎My intention in creating this journal is to share, not only some professional news but also inspiring experiences, feelings and emotions.
I have to admit that when I entered the Barbican Centre to enjoy Isamu Noguchi’s exhibition, I didn’t know the massive influence seeing his work would have on me. The space, illuminated by his fragile and airy lamps, transformed the gallery into a delicate garden of light in which to get lost. As Noguchi once said, “Art should become as one with its surroundings". The exhibition nailed the concept. I was fascinated.
After the exhibition, I felt I wanted to somehow incorporate that sense of magic in my humble home in London. In the following years, I visited the Brancusi Studio Museum in Paris and travelled all the way to Japan, trying to understand what inspired him to create his work.
Now, almost every time someone enters my home, they all repeat the same comment. “Oh, such a peaceful place, I love it.” And I smile. Thank you, Isamu.
