Hanji Works

In this gallery there are works created using hanji - a handmade mulberry paper from Korea. I use various techniques for hanji: from traditional (joomchi) to experimental, sometimes combining different techniques in a single work. Joomchi, a traditional Korean technique, uses water to seal several layers of hanji together to form a single sheet. The paper is first wetted with water, then worked on to break down the fibers in order to fuse the sheets. Sometimes I incorporate other types of paper and/or apply ink and acrylic enamel. As I try various techniques, the list is constantly expanding.
