Description
Water 74 I-U.B.F., a 2012 ink and color woodblock, shares its number with Tree 74 I., creating a parallel between Yoshida's two major nature-based series. Where the tree print works in monochrome ink, this water study adds color, reflecting the different visual qualities of its subject. Water refracts and reflects light in ways that demand color to represent accurately, even in the simplified vocabulary of woodblock printing. The I-U.B.F. suffix records the technical specifics of this impression, adding it to the growing archive of approaches Yoshida has tested in her ongoing study of water through mokuhanga.
