  mentoring_philosophy: 'I approach mentoring as a collaborative process with communication at its core. I hope to give research assistants a glimpse into the world of researching for the arts and sculpture as research. Mentees’ goals and understanding will be assessed at meetings that will be held every two weeks. Most of the time the mentee will be working directly with me, so that I am able to get to know their talents, interest, and motivations throughout the project. Art is wonderfully flexible and allows for errors to become learning without much loss. Because of this, positive reinforcement and space to fail and improve are imbedded in this project. Serving as a mentee myself allowed me to become the artist that I am today. I hope to give my mentees a similar experience. '

  overall_research_project_description: 'This project involves the creation of two approximately seven-foot sculptures memorializing Yetsu Kamiya and Masa Kamiya. They were a mother and daughter who lived in the Japanese American settlement of Yamato in what is now Delray Beach, Florida. The project requires creation of sculptures via welding, metalworking, painting, sewing, and other multimedia work. The structure of the sculpture will be welded steel in the shape of a koi with painted fabric panels sewn into the structure. The painted panels will be drawn from research surrounding the Yamato colony and the lives and experiences of these Japanese American women. '

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: |
    Digitize resources, literature review, assistance with grinding and sanding, prepping canvases, measuring, applying for shows

    Research tasks for this project would be separated into studio assignments and historic record assignments. The major historic records assignment would be to digitize paper journal entries from the early 1900s. These journals span many years and are dense with information. A digitized version of this resource would make it searchable and allow it to be secured in an additional form. Historic record assignments would also include searching interviews and online databases for information about Yamato, Masa, and Yetsu. Studio assignments would involve assisting with the creation of the sculptures. Tasks like assisting in mapping where the painted panels will be sewn in, assistance with grinding and sanding, prepping canvases, measuring, and applying for shows.
