HANDMADE ART PAPER: THE BIRD MAN 50x50cm

Handmade ART PAPER that I made in a paper mill in Japan
Size 50x50cm
"The Birdman"
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 my "bird man" drawing, a symbolic image that shows the double of us always free (our soul?) who travels between different space-times.
The fibers that I use are  kozo fibers from the Japanese mulberry bush, fibers much longer than to make western papers, and therefore perfect for papers of decoration.
