Okawara on Paper
Okawara is named for the handmade Japanese paper I use in a series of small studies. I like to work fast and spontaneously in order to push my screenprinted marks and shapes. I often print 20-50 at a time, ending with only 1 or 2 prints that stand on their own. The rest of the paper is cut into squares and reassembled into collage on paper and wood. Maintaining a limited palette allows me to focus on shapes, transparency and opacity, and the subtle range of values developed through layering.
