• Selected Archival Plates
Printed on museum-grade cotton rag, these archival plates study the balance of shadow and materiality within Japan's historic temples, artisan workshops, and mountain passes.
In the traditional rooms of Kyoto, light never rushes to fill the space. It waits at the threshold, soft and uninsistent, allowing the shadows to hold their own quiet weight.
