Mari Uchida ARTISTfS STATEMENT


Rain, wind, snow, cloud, moon, water.
These words mean natural phenomena,
but are also an expression of Japanese Spirits.
Ancient Japanese people thought that natural phenomena
was a message from ganother worldh.
My works, printed on paper, are an expression of the relationship
between ganother worldh and hthis worldh.
Sometimes, that relationship is a little humorous.
The print on paper is very fragile, and will fade out in the distant future.
These works will all go to ganother worldh someday.
I love things that are in this world only momentarily;
things that will be nothing in the distant future.
Because of that, I choose to make prints on paper.

TECHNIQUE
My works are printed on gTosa washihpapers, which are a special product of
the Kochi prefecture in Japan.
My printing method is color lithography.
I draw the images using crayon and ink, and print about 12 colors in one work.
