Daily Reports from Junko’s Perspective About our Gallery
On the opening day, we got a comment from one visitor. She wrote in questionnaire that she empathized with my fear and anxiety and was impressed how I changed my mind, which motivated her to try what she’s been thinking in her mind. She seemed to read memos you’ve putted. She mentioned my name, so Kayo told this to me. At that time, I just thought“wow!” After you said bye and left a gallery, Kayo told this to other WS members. Everyone surprised. Asuna said, ‘’Inspired people is what artists do. You did it! Good for you! Wonderful!’’ This gave me goose pumps because I realized what I did inspired someone. I’ve never thought I could do such things, so I was so happy. Emiko also said “Good! Good!’’ with her eyes glistening with tears. Kiyoko saw this and said “If you moved to tear, why didn’t you do it when Pascale was here!” This is a beautiful moment for me. I was so glad to see everyone was happy and moved by what they did were rewarded.
I heard this story from other staff. People who don’t know anything think that we are forced to wear fashionable clothes made by some artists. When they saw memos and explanations on our gallery space, they noticed everything and they are so moved by the truth.Actually, when I work on second floor, people ask me who made this uniform because they never would have expected guards make their uniforms.
I'm considered as Ms. Aoki and Ms. Yokoo when I’m in their gallery spaces. I talked this to Keiko. Keiko told me that she was considered Nakako. That’s so funny.
With high ratio, people stop and stare at Kiyoko’s Polaroid photographs clipped by clothespins and feel the touch of Sawako’s handmade clay pendants and say beautiful in front of Mariko’s space.
I heard that some people said they like my painting, flying uniform. My relative came to see it and she likes it too. The other day, people who love frog searched me. I was not there on the day, so I didn’t meet them. But it motivated me to put my lovely frog to my uniform again.
And,
