Winter Print

Inspired by the winter nights and light of the solstice. A mediative work that gives hope during the darkest of times. 'Winter' is made using shibori technique on archival washi , the paper is then cut and mounted on archival bass wood individual triangles that make a whole. With one 24k gold leaf. My work is diverse but always closely linked to process and understanding of materials including their history and connection to culture.I work intuitively, currently I am exploring ancient method of organic sugar fermentation Indigo and the consequent resonance in historical culture. The fermentation vat is ‘alive’ ,cannot be hurried, the microbes need time to do the work and over time ‘feeding’ the vat is necessary to continue the process. Indigo is an extraordinary plant whose extract turns yellow/green when in water and blue when exposed to air. Indigo popular for more than 4000 years is still used . I think of the millions of blue jeans worn everyday. I studied indigo in Japan, the painstaking dyeing techniques of Shibori, folding,tying,wrapping and Roketsuzome a Japanese form of wax-resit dying. A ancient colour and a ancient universe is the perfect subject that captivates me.
