Paper Marbling with Grid

SUMINAGASHI AND PORTRAITURE 

 

Suminagashi is a Japanese paper-marbling technique in which ink floats on water, forming patterns that are transferred onto paper. The movement of the water makes each pattern unique. To create these portraits, I cut the marbled paper into small pieces and arranged and glued them onto a grid, like assembling a puzzle. Together, the pieces form a recognizable portrait while retaining their individual patterns.
