Living in 9 different countries has allowed me to develop
a genuine appreciation for local art and craft forms and
learn some of the techniques. More importantly I was taught
to see objects, landscape and miscellaneous scenes from
the local perspective. My vision field increased while
living 10 years in a remote town in northern Western Australia,
I was able to gradually develop my own art form based
on Chigiri-E. I use paper as medium. Ninety percent of
these papers I make myself using Kozo and Mitsumata bark.
Paper is always warm to touch and carries the energy of
organic life not found in other materials like oil paint,
gouache, etc. With paper I can depict both the unassuming
beauty and resilience of the magnificent Western Australian
wildflowers and bushland. They soak their amazing colours
and take various textures. I realized my dream of using
the Japanese paper making technique to depict harsh yet
serene Australian landscapes. |
