Description
"Fushoku D (Wind Erosion D)" belongs to one of Tajima's most precisely observed series, in which natural forces of erosion — wind, water, time — are rendered as abstract compositional processes. The woodblock surface itself simulates the action of wind on a susceptible material, its texture built up through multiple impressions that mimic the layering and removal of sediment. The "D" variant suggests this theme occupied Tajima through an extended series of investigations, each testing a different resolution.
