The artist R. Kikuo Johnson on learning to love New York City beaches and the inspiration behind his cover for this week’s issue.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that car ownership in the city is a pain in the ass. Its attendant joys: traffic, expense, and, above all, finding parking—an endeavor that requires both Machiavellian strategy and Job-like patience. I recently spoke to R. Kikuo Johnson about his inspiration for this week’s cover, and why wiser New Yorkers know that the best way to experience the pleasures of summer in the city is on a bike.
The beach was a big part of your childhood in Hawaii. What about these days, now that you live in New York? The first time I went to a beach in New York City was when my friends took me to the bay side of the Rockaways. I stepped into the water and there were jellyfish, jellyfish everywhere. I was totally freaked out—I’d never seen any before—but my friends said, “Don’t worry, they won’t hurt you. These are not the kind that sting.” So I kept wading in the water. And then I thought one bumped into my shin. I looked down—it was an inflated condom.
A few years ago, my partner started graduate school and moved into the small, one-bedroom apartment that had doubled as my art studio. Fortunately, a co-working art space opened just a few blocks away. I rent a desk there, and it has provided my partner and I with a little extra space. And there is even wine at happy hour.
