Description
I have an 1828 wrapper for a kimono that is gloriously soft and weathered and yet sturdy. I have photographed various bits and pieces of the wrapper and then have combined those bits and pieces to create a variety of photomontages, montages that are slightly different, yet honor the spirit of the object. It's made of old, used boro paper, multiple layers pasted together so that it's thick and very soft. I'm reveling in what this kimono wrapping paper is offering, and I hope you enjoy seeing my interpretations of it. This picture is also available in a square format.

Wonderful colors and texture! You have an amazing collection of stuff you use in your artwork, Carol. I'm very impressed.

Thank you, Sarah, for your kind remarks. And yes, I have a wonderful collection to draw from. But sometimes just the smallest scrap of paper can work perfectly! To be able to create something such as this is incredibly rewarding. As you know in your own artwork. My favorite works of yours are your (and this may sound weird) headlight/taillight pictures. So abstract, so beautifully composed. I've always admired (1) your coming up with the idea (jealous) and (2) the compositions you create. Yes, aren't we both terrific?! :-)
