Akisame “autumn rain” (2019)
collage of hand printed papers on watercolour paper
Akisame signifies the end of summer in Japan. In the UK, when I made these work as the season transitions from summer to autumn, there was a long period of rain ( not that unusual I guess!). The transitional time evokes the feeling of nostalgia as well as expectations for the next season. Although nature is always changing, transformations appear more obvious to our eyes during changing seasons.
