MEDIUM
Mild steel, Momigami mulberry paper, Walnut husk and iron dye

DESCRIPTION
Original

Mire takes its name from an old word once used to describe the dark, boggy ground. A hand- shaped and welded steel structure forms the frame. Its skin is mulberry paper, hand-dyed using a natural blend of walnut husk and iron. The paper's distinctive texture comes from Momigami, a traditional Japanese technique meaning "kneaded paper." This technique, once used by Japanese farmers who could not afford expensive fabric, strengthens the paper, giving it remarkable resilience.
