In Japanese, ‘komorebi’ is a noun describing sunlight that filters through the leaves of a tree. This interplay of light and darkness is the subject of my latest papercut and intaglio series (2024–2025). Hand-cut paper stencils from pixelated ‘komorebi’ images were directly captured through photo-etching and printed onto hemp paper dappled by droplets of water. The repetitions between image, process and medium, reflect upon the recursive connections of natural phenomena.
