"Space-Time Travel"
Paperwork is magic! I learned to make Japanese papers in a paper mill in Japan, "Fujimori papermill". I developed a very personal technique. I'm starting to prepare my images:  images painted with pigments on Japanese paper. Afterwards, during the creation of the papers, I include the images layer by layer in the paper, between the fibers. To make Japanese paper, we build the paper little by little in the tatami, with a little fiber each time. 
I therefore have in my papers images on the surface and others inside, completely integrated into the papers.
The image that I have integrated here is mythological symbols from different cultures, which tells the story of the Valkyrie.
The fibers when used are kozo, fibers much longer than for making Western papers, and therefore perfect for decorative papers.
I have juxtaposed images and texts from different cultures to help you travel...
