Four Seasons Series- Summer no. 1327

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, wood chips & 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 two thousand years and can only be done by a handful of artisans in America.
