MEDIUM
Mild steel, Momigami mulberry paper, oak bark dye, Indigo dye

DESCRIPTION
A hand-shaped and welded steel structure forms the frame. It is covered in mulberry paper, with natural indigo dye used to create spots across an oak bark dyed background. The indigo is prepared in an alkaline vat, allowing the natural dye to develop its deep blue, while the oak bark, rich in tannins, creates the warm tan base. The paper’s 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.
