"One in a study of traditional handmade binders, pigments and resins"
8" x 10"
handmade cotton paper, rabbit skin glue, red ochre, green earth, iron oxide, indigo, chalk, mastic resin, water and fire

"There is nothing you can see that is not a flower; there is nothing you can think that is not the moon."
~ Matsuo Bashō 1949

"...the earth around me was bare / the snow sunned itself away and the land basked mildly in the soft airs"
