Ink on rice paper, soy wax
72 × 33 cm
In progress since 2024
This series of drawings is created in a direct duet with nature.
Using the suminagashi technique, I drop the ink on the surface of Lake Neuchâtel, where, under the influence of the wind and currents, the drawing changes in seconds. Then, I transfer the drawing to paper and let it dry on one of the coastal boulders. The relief of the stone appears through the paper as dark islands, which I immortalize by gently touching them with an ink-soaked brush, lichen, algae, or other natural elements.
On different days, I use different techniques. Sometimes, I hold the dry paper over an ink-soaked brush, letting the wind guide the movement of the paper over the brush. Other days, I leave the sheet in the rain and observe how the drops change the surface of the sheet and how the drawing from the surface of the lake is then transferred, taking into account these changes—memories.
When the sheets are completely dried, I impregnate them several times with soybean wax, giving them flexibility and translucency, emphasizing the quality and delicate aesthetics of the nature of the designs here.
