Japanese Apricot Wine (Glyph #23) - by Naoko Fujimoto

One of a kind original artwork, as featured in Naoko Fujimoto’s sensational collection, Glyph: Graphic Poetry=Trans. Sensory.

• Found materials and ink on watercolor paper

Description

‘“Trans.” has two meanings — Translate & Transport’

Naoko uses paper and objects found during her travels. Postcards, origami, gift wrapping paper, magazines, and other materials rich in color and texture, even supermarket advertisements find their way into her collages. The use of common objects mirrors the shared conflicts of daily living as a Japanese American, in turn grounding her graphic poetry.
