Jelvis Has Left The Building
nAscent artist Yuko Ueda recently collaborated
with five other artists to create a unique sidewalk
drawing. Ueda, along with artists Naruki Kukita,
Maria Tanikawa, Risako Hachioshi, Brian Ormond,
Brian Boerner, took inspiration from Ideal Glass
Gallery's on August 16th commemoration of the
30th anniversary of Elvis' passing to create a
portrait of Jelvis, an actor named Willard Morgan
known as Jewish Elvis.
Yuko said, " It was a first but, as I got to know
the people who organized the event, musicians
involved, and cooperated with other artists, it
became more exciting."
Yuko was yearning to do a collaborative
outdoor work with other artists and saw this as a
great opportunity. While not a permanent work,
it was a chalk and washable paint piece in front
of the event space. At night, the sidewalk was
illuminated. The piece definitely caught the
interest of the passers by.
"It was fun to share our work process and
Elvis' story with little bit of the community." said
Yuko. ■
