Description
A small vessel-like sculptural form pinched into a rounded, dome-shaped body with a narrow open neck at the top, made from pleated old Japanese bookpages bearing visible printed and handwritten characters. Passages of deep indigo aquatint bleed across sections of the cream-colored paper in soft, cloud-like patches, with the interior of the neck opening rendered in dark teal-black. The object sits alone against a plain dark gray background, lit softly to emphasize its folded, textile-like creases. *Contain*, Yuko Kimura, 2014, aquatint on pleated old bookpages from Japan.
