“Clubs are the Desire for Knowledge” I was thrilled to see that Nana Shiomi’s woodcut has been selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. ‘Diamonds’ is one of two prints and the backstory is very interesting. Girls are Diamonds - Dedicated to all the Runaway Girls-, 2021 Home for Runaway Girls - Clubs are the Desire for Knowledge, 2021 Hand printed on two hinged sheets of Japanese Paper, 103 x 74cm, Edition 30 "These works are my homage to Louise Bourgeois’s “Home for Runaway girls” (1994). I have no idea why, but I have felt like I am a runaway girl since I was young. However, it is not with a negative meanings at all; it’s a very positive one. I am always seeking my freedom with my  curious and adventurous mind. I am proud of myself as I am still keeping that spirit. These works are my support message to all the runaway girls. I decided to make Alice of ’Alice in Wonderland’ appear as the cast character in these works. Also, I use the upside-down manner of the playing cards to coincide with Alice’s story."
