SHINOBU AKIMOTO is a visual artist who now divides her time between Toronto and Japan. At her parents' house in Japan, Akimoto still keeps her Hello Kitty Doll House collection from her childhood, which is nothing like Canadian kids have ever seen. (Well maybe not.) Despite all this, Akimoto no longer believes in collecting.

ANGELA HAJDU graduated from the University of Guelph honours program with a specialization in studio art in the spring of 2001. She is currently living and working in Japan, rather enjoying it, loving all things cute and plastic (including a wide variety of grasses), and disliking the excessive packaging of individually wrapped items such as oranges and tomatoes. Hajdu is currently documenting a series of brightly coloured collections of selected small, cute (and sometimes plastic) objects.

She received her BFA from the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto and her MFA from Concordia University in Montreal.

Most recent exhibitions include 'Uniblow Outfits' at the Khyber Centre for the Arts in Halifax, 'Dreamscapes' - a site-specific installation for the Musée du Québec in Québec City, 'Oasis' - a group exhibition at the Saidye Bronfman Centre for the Arts in Montréal and 'Inside Out' - a solo exhibition at La Chambre Blanche in Québec City.
