In this series I return to a theme I explored in the earlier series 'rain & noodles', but this time in a larger format.
Inspired by research into the Japanese aesthetic concept of wabisabi and my own memories of a trip to Japan, I play with the archetypal semi-circular shape important in that culture and its welcoming, open character. Colored in muted dark blue tones monochrome, the shapes vary in shape and different tonal values, textures, patterns or line elements on their surface.
The process of creating this series was very experimental and playful, inviting surprising results and imperfections.
