Monoprint Series 2 (Wandering)

First experiments with color and varied washi papers. Freely mixes suminagashi and Western marbling — combing, raking, blowing, dragging paper through the bath, alcohol as dispersant. Six selected from a larger body for range of technique.

In the first series, I wanted to remove color as a variable and concentrate on process and form. Here I went wild — tried all kinds of color combinations and techniques. A highly experimental session with many ideas that would carry into future work.
