I'm writing my senior thesis about contemporary art responding to the Japanese Internment camps and this video totally came at the right time wow. RUclips algorithm knowing what I need haha! I feel I definitely have to include Judy in my paper now, she's awesome.
That’s great. I’ll tell Judy today. That’s the first good thing I’ve heard regarding The Algorithm. Though I created the video’s title to catch its attention.
@@douglasreynolds-op1no More than a visit. Isamu Noguchi--artist, designer, landscape architect--actually volunteered to be sent to Poston. Yes; he volunteered. The camps were created for people of Japanese descent who lived west of the Rockies, and Noguchi was living on the east coast. Noguchi had some very idealistic notions about using art and design to create a kind of experimental Utopia at Poston with a literally captive audience. He saw it as a creative opportunity. Not surprisingly, he was viewed by the incarcerated with suspicion. Many thought he might be an informant. And it soon became clear that the U.S. government was not going to allow this guy to start messing with their plans. He saw the light and wanted out. But it turned out to be a lot harder for him to get out than it was to get in. There are likely multiple morals to his story.
Years ago when I was living in California, I was taking an art class. Across from me was a Japanese woman, which for me was interesting because the city where this class was had a strong Hispanic influence. She was from the area as well. She then told me about her experiences in Manzanar. I broke down; sobbing. I am not an overly emotional person but this got to me. She said that when she finally settled down there, at the age of 8, she realized it was the safest place to be. Such a kind woman! Her family lost everything; they had a large flower farm and nothing was there when they came back but a housing development. Sad, so very sad.
Wow….from one struggling artist…@ 71 yrs old, you hv inspired me to reclaim my peace and stop the struggle and just let it flow naturally. Forever grateful for this blessing🙏 Thank You🙏 I will be more kind to the little girl inside of me who was abused and ignored🙏
@@marechal1937 thank you so much. Her life story and struggles and how she committed herself to creating just touched me to the core. I hv tears just writing this. She is my ‘Shero’ 🙏 Blessings to her and may God grant her a long and love filled life🙏
My beloved high school art teacher was a child in one of these camps. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have known about them as it wasn't mentioned in history class. True art transmits emotion and personal experience; Judy has tapped into both. Thanks for sharing.
Your work is stunningly beautiful and at the same time powerfully poignant. Art embedded in the work via trauma does not always translate well, or enough for the viewer to tolerate well enough. Your work, I think, is an exception. Thank you for sharing your story.
Anne-I’m hoping this leads to many more people being able to see the work in person. Last Monday, Judy’s husband Ed looked out to where I was shooting work and said, “That’s some of her best work.” I agree with Ed.
Today,i see your wonderful Work! Chapeau your Ästhetik about a time ,bad time ,, and then comes a better Future for you.respect to you and your art.best wishes .
Judy's artwork needs to be in the Met. in New York for the world to see. Incredible artist!
I agree.

I believe Noguchi visited the camps!

Remarkable film. Beautifully woven together: memory, sorrow, self understanding, and hope.
Thanks. I also hope that Judy's humor and resilience come through. She's fun to spend time with.

I'll forward your message to Judy.
