Artist Statement
"This series expands on the work of the postmodern Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone who re-interpreted the idea of the American western film. By appropriating from Akira Kurosawas’s “Yojimbo” and American western films, Leone used an international cast and shot in locations such as Spain to depict “the wild American west”.

My re-interpretation of the “Spaghetti Western” as “Sukiyaki Western” points to media and culture in our postmodern world quickly and constantly consuming one another, re-creating itself anew in the process. By constructing images that cast Asian actors as “Cowboys/Gunslingers” from a Leone film, and staging my scenes in Pioneertown, California, I am bringing the appropriations cycle full circle and constructing a hybrid of Eastern and Western values and popular iconography that dissolves societal, racial and cultural boundaries."
