Katherine Draws

by Caroline Sato

I was gifted sumi by a Korean artist in late 2021. With shuji and sumi-e so masterfully taught and practised in Japan, I was a bit overwhelmed. In addition, I typically avoid black. However, there is something mysterious in suminagashi, orizome and feathering, just as there is in the process of creation. "Katherine Draws" reflects that magic that glimmers in our reality. That thoughtful gift had a wondrous effect: thanks Sun Chun Lee!
