This painting was made using the traditional Japanese mineral pigment painting method. It’s a labor intensive process that involves making water based paints, binders, and glue using natural materials.

Organic/inorganic pigments/cochineal/vinegar/salt/oxidized Japanese silver leaf (on Arches hot press paper) all play their part in this finely veiled, multi layered painting.

This piece has a rich, earthy warmth — it feels like a landscape remembered through time, with sedimentary layers of rust, clay, and turquoise giving it a geological soul. Ships flat
