Debris and Paper is based on Japanese washi paper works produced in Tokushima for the exhibition “Ohara’s Physicality, Tanaka’s Bionomics” held at Creation Gallery G8 in January. Using materials collected by Ohara from his residency destinations including Yamagata, Tokushima, and Hayama, the artists consolidated them into washi through their physicality. Allowing different paper-making techniques such as suminagashi (floating ink) or rakusui (water dropping technique) to take effect, the resulting paper accumulates diverse colors and textures, encapsulating not only traces of the body, but also a visual logic differing from texts or images. The work suggests a new ecology—paper as an ecological system.
