A statement from the Artist.

Photography, to me, is the surface of a thought, that by its nature, shares and becomes an idea.

Documentary film making gives me the opportunity of knowing other ways of life, history, culture.  It allows me to learn through research and proximity to the subject.

Recording images and testimonials – the process through which I approach and experience my projects – is my way of life.

Technique from the Artist.

This series of photographs is a fusion of technology and the ancient art  of hand made paper-Mitsumata, which is highly regarded for it’s beautiful texture. This method has been used in the religious book making cultures of Asia.
