Toshiko Watanabe
The artist makes her art works using Japanese paper, Indian ink, Japanese paints, sometimes silver paper. She works outside with physical movements and also uses a method that relies on coincidence. Since 2018 she began to make objects with mulberry pulp, which became one of the elements of her installation.
