Like infinity cell division of living things
Like layered thoughts and emotions of one's mind
Like the stars and planets in space
We are constantly changing and things are always moving
One fine delicate line is drawn
from another line connected and
it gives birth to another line
The drawing gradually expands from the starting point
Every line is connected to another line, everything is connected to everything else.
Things are organic and geometric at the same time.
It is like an imagery or a sample of on going cell division of the universe.
Each line is a thought and an emotion, and or a feeling, the whole drawing is an imagery of human mind. If each line is a cell of a life, then whole view is a life. If each small line is a unique life on the earth, then the whole view is the universe.
Nothing emerges, nor comes out of the blue as far as I know.
Things exist, existed, and will exist, and they are connected to each other, like my drawing in front of you.
I am still in the process of examining the connections between everything, from one art'st's point of view, using my art and my life.
My drawing will become a connection between you and me, when you encounter it, when you own it, or when you remember it in your heart, and you will be another connection and media or like the one line of the drawing, when you talk about it to another person.
We are all individual, we are all part of everything, and each of us is a medium at the same time.

Natsumi K. Goldfish is a Brooklyn based Japanese artist born and raised in the outskirts of Tokyo, Japan. Her early environment in Japan was a mix of the urban and the suburban; where the natural world mixed with the city- this made a lasting impression on her creative output. The dialogue of natural and urban worlds continues to be the central theme of her art. In the merging boundaryless environment and odd boundaries between people, she grew up believing in pluralism, or something close to the idea of "being between and both", and "everything is connected to everything else" and it became one of ideas for her to explore. Natsumi’s creations are a pathway to her pushing the boundaries between humanity and nature. In her work, she often incorporates everyday-life or artificial objects and spaces such as bathtubs, fish tanks, specimens, and windows as symbols of human presence. Natsumi moved to the US in 2011 after the Tōhoku earthquake and she received her BA in Art degree at Tyler School of Art, Temple University (2013). Natsumi had solo exhibitions in Tokyo and New York City, and her work has been included in multiple group exhibitions.
Some of the featured publications include Hyperallergic, OXFORD Magazine, VoyageLA Magazine, CanvasRevel Magazine, Studio Visit Magazine, and Whitehot Magazine.

Hyperallergic (6/13/19): " Natsumi Goldfish, with her series “Half-Humans,” envisions a series that combines the upper bodies of elfin, female-presenting subjects with the lower bodies of wild animals — vaguely reminiscent of Disney’s Fantasia’s segment on centaurs."
