with time III

The third work in the with time series, this 2024 mokuhanga continues Kawamura's sustained inquiry into how temporal passage accumulates within domestic and coastal spaces. The subjects — seascape and interior — suggest an overlapping of outdoor expanse and enclosed memory, a compositional tension Kawamura navigates through layered printing and careful registration across multiple blocks. The roman numeral designation implies this image shares structural or thematic material with earlier works in the series, possibly returning to the same viewpoint or interior arrangement as light conditions or seasons shift. Kawamura's training at Kyoto Seika and Tama Art University grounds her in both traditional mokuhanga technique and contemporary print discourse, and works like this one reflect an approach where the slow accumulation of ink layers on washi mirrors the gradual sedimentation of memory the title invokes. Color relationships are likely quiet and close-valued, allowing the texture of the printed surface to carry emotional weight.
