Archival ink print on handmade Dai-Ōban Ichibei Iwano kizuki-hosho washi edition of 1 with 2 artist proofs
44.5 x 55 cm
2024
I am an American-born multidisciplinary artist based in London. I am interested in the shifting boundaries between memory, perception, and consciousness. Across collage, photography, film, installation, music, and print, I construct intricate works that evoke the layered experiences of existence and remembrance.
These submitted works are influenced by the spirit of Japanese Ukiyo-e masters like Utagawa Hiroshige and Hokusai. I embrace a practice of wandering freely without a specific purpose. This approach allows me to merge conscious and unconscious sensitivities, resulting in works that are not strict representations of a place but rather evocations of their experience.
Walking with a camera, I gather fragments: hundreds of images of whatever catches my eye. I later intricately cut, layer, and reassemble these moments in Photoshop into a singular image that is both fractured and whole. What I call the omni-jective view of memory: many perspectives, one vision. Many hundreds of photographed elements are orchestrated into the final image.
The prints were produced in collaboration with master printer Mitsuhiro Matsudaira at Atelier Matsudaira in Tokyo, using exquisite dai Oban-sized sheets of washi made by Ichibei Iwano, a ninth-generation washi maker and designated Ningen Kokuho (Living National Treasure) of Japan. This rare washi, the same as once used by Edo-era artists like Hokusai, lends historical resonance to my contemporary process.
When one falls asleep, having gathered the material of the day, one tears it up and recombines it, and dreams by one?s own light. In doing so, one becomes Creator.
The Upanishads
