Orchid no. 1190

Description

I utilize contemporary eastern brushwork that lends movement to floral, trees & landscapes. The materials consist of handmade paper, ink made of pine soot & watercolors. The paper has silk, cotton, woodchips & mulberry pressed into the pulp. The result is a velvety, tactile surface. The ancient process of preparing the artwork is similar to that of mounting eastern scrolls. This method of preparing works on paper dates back 2 thousand years & can only be done by a handful of artisans in America.
