Through our blogs, I have been inspired by all the images.
Here are what I have been doing for our drawing project.
I bought some Fabriano papers 20" x 30".
I am working on drawings that have traces from my collage making process.
--a fragment from my wormhole collage using old Japanese bookpages.
--a process of cutting out wormholes from old bookpages. I am keeping traces of cutting marks on paper surfaces.
--Experimenting painting with
Kakishibu( persimmon juice) on wormhole paper, I keep residue and traces of painting on paper. This dark rich brown color is from the persimmon juice, or the tannin extracted from green persimmons. In ancient times in Japan, persimmon juice was used to add durability to the paper, cloth and wood.
--Sumi ink painting on residue of PVA adhesive from my collage making process
I am planning to keep developing these drawing methods. When deadline of this drawing project comes, I will cut into 100 pieces. In a way, I am flexible with size.
