January 2019
The Art District Gallery is hosting a juried show called Sweet 16. All artwork is no bigger than 16×16. Opening reception is January 18, 2019 at the gallery. My submissions include new works using hand painted washi (Japanese paper). Parts have practise sheets for my Japanese shodo calligraphy in sumi ink such as kanji for the word love and words relating to water. Other parts simulate the Japanese tie dying technique shibori. I have used resists and stencilling on hand sized and unsized paper, exploring the nature of washi and chigiri-e or ripped paper collage.
