SUKETCHI
Japanese Sketches
Symbols of the natural world – clouds, rivers, the sea, mountains – are often depicted in Japanese art. Ukiyo-e is a style of woodblock printing and painting that flourished in Japan from the 17th through to the 19th centuries. The term Ukiyo-e translates as “pictures of the floating world”.
SUKETCHI is a collection of five different fabric and wallpaper patterns. Each design is an expressive reaction to our shifting socio-political world as reflected by the natural environment.
Painted with ink but in the manner of woodblock, the white design is left ‘cut’ from the wash of color.
