On display there is a collection of my drawings and paintings close to my personal spaces like home, family etc. + three litographic prints performed in Tokyo that are a mash of perspective lines and selfportraits. Two bigger books was also presented - Winter and Autumn Sketches and Spring and Summer Drawings. You can find the documentation of the books at my drawing diary blog.

My artistic idee fixes are, among many others: floating pictures, fascicles, notes, garden, travelling drawings, drawing things as they are, spring, micronarratives, episodes, everyday life, chain reaction drawings, sudden drawing, and other forms of expressions at the border of existing life, poetry and visual stories. Exibition overall comprises a story about my place on the earth during last two years.

Anatomy of the water based woodcut.

There's some footage from the studio demonstrating making a woodblock print using the water based method (mokuhanga). It's the final - black colour of four or five runs. I'm using my own made kozo paper, shoe brush and a dry pigments like soot and deep blue.
The movie was made to catch some pleasant moments while making edition, and also to clearly demonstrate  the idea of printing using the water colour and a wooden block.

*Don't worry. This time I'm not using any music;)

1. falling the dry pigment (first blue then black soot) on the moistened, carved  block.



2. applying pigment to the block using the shoe brush (horshair). I'm also using some rice paste to have some binder for the pigment.



3. Here You can see the positioning and treatment of the moistened paper. In this case I'm using thin and very fragile kozo paper. The block is being printed using baren.



4. And we have the final impression.




Following documentation was recorded in 2014 in Olsztyn.

Best regards.

Sealing woodblock prints. (video)

Short footage from my <3 studio. The magic moment of sealing prints.
Have a good time watching.

Kozo papermaking with a little twist.

There is a small video documentation on making paper using kozo fibre.
It's made the Japanese method... Well not exactly. I haven't got the original sugeta those days and was forced to make my own. I'm using flexible silk screen to make sheets.
All equipment made by me.  The video was recorded mostly at Academic Lithography Studio in Olsztyn. POLAND. Feb 2014.

It was a great papermaking quest.

Enjoy.
