Installation of water-based woodcuts (mokuhanga scrolls, 56" x 17") with paper mobile. October 2018
Instituto Sacatar, Itaparica, Bahia, Brasil

Project: "As águas do futuro na boca da baía" the waters of the future at the mouth of the bay Sacatar Residency Fellowship Itaparica, Bahia, Brazil August - October, 2018 I observed the water surrounding the island of Itaparica through a series of water-based woodcuts using the ancient Japanese technique, mokuhanga. Along with daily drawings and observation, community input played a large part in the project. I posed the question to people I met: What is the color of the water of the future? Their answers were hand printed onto washi scrolls. Everyone received a "águas do futuro” button designed by the artist. The artist is grateful for the support of Sacatar Foundation to realize this project in Bahia, Brazil. The project "As Águas do Futuro" envisioned at Sacatar, is now ongoing.
