Schmincke black ink on Japanese rice paper

Part of a year-long series of hand-made artworks depicting some of the spaces within the home-studio-library. This is also an expression of Tina’s search for creative work that does not involve the computer. 

Like so many things within the @urbsindislibrary, each work has a dual purpose. First, it is a momento of a memory, a physical artifact of the space. Second, it is a call to arms, specifically to use one’s arms and hands to make, to write, to read, to step back from the digital (periodically) and embrace the art of using one’s digits. 

A limited number of prints (9) are available at Rs. 350 per print + packing and shipping. Please DM if you are interested. Proceeds will be used to create a seed fund for photographing all works within the library and creating an online catalogue. Oh the irony.
