Glimmer, Tallgrass Impressions Joomchi Series, 2019
Artist: Julie Nocent-Vigil
Hanji (Korean mulberry paper), etching ink, hanji thread
Color field study using 45 (approx. 2' x 3') sheets of hanji paper joomchied (water felted) together to create a single paper piece about 4 x 14’ - incorporates printed work using polymer plates into process. Now creating larger scale fiber works from hanji, , I consider the invitation of the horizon and nexus where cultural understandings of spaces came into collision, particularly in the 19th century, and not unlike the 21st century, as extraction industries endanger environments and life in balance along these westward routes – the lure of Quivira persists.
