PROJECT MEIJI JINGU

Starting the autumn of 2025, Jerret Gardner is going to use the traditional Japanese style of water color called Sumi-e to paint 12 Meiji Jingu Shrine inspired koi fish. This project will be a multi-medium art project consisting of Sumi-e, digital design, 3D design, photography, and web design. A custom hanko stamp will also be made by the artist with his kanji characters for Niwashi Tenka — The gardener who came down from heaven.

Upon refresh and reentry of the URL jerretgardner.com the 12 koi fish reorientate themselves in a different random configuration. This also occurs with 10 out of the 12 koi fish art works. One of the koi fish art works links to this page you are now reading. Another links to the artist's company design page, starsevendesign.com. Happy Easter egg hunting!!!

This page is the story of Project Meiji Jingu and the artist's journey to complete this exhibition in all of its facets.
