Description

The second print in the Dappled Light series continues Wilhide Justin's investigation into how light fractures as it passes through a canopy or onto water. Printed on washi using the traditional Japanese woodcut process, the composition builds successive transparent layers of color, each block contributing a new spatial register. The series format allows subtle shifts between prints — adjusting hue, density, or the distribution of light and shadow — so that Dappled Light II occupies a distinct moment within the larger sequence. The natural sizing of washi moderates ink absorption, enabling delicate tonal transitions that capture the ephemeral quality of filtered light.
