2011

About the Item

Materials: Handmade paper, paper string, wax After working as a textile artist for nearly two decades, in 1998, Iwasaki began making both baskets and her own paper. In 2000, her new work was included in the influential In Our Hands Exhibition, in Nagoya, Japan. "I make works in which elements are "piled" she explained in the 2011 catalog, Stimulus: Art and Its Inception. "They are like small boxes of air and a record of the everyday. I use washi paper that I make myself as the main material. When I use commercial paper I feel the difference in the material."

    By Jana Osterman

This bright white plaster piece is polished with wax giving it a light sheen. This work is the Artist’s Proof from an edition of 10. “I’m interested in producing quiet, minimal, contemplative work, concerned with how far I can push a form and material to stay inside that realm.” Jana Osterman Born in Slovenia, Osterman moved to Holland where she studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. She continued with printmaking studies in England. For the last 20 years, Osterman has worked as a full-time artist and fabricator in Canada, first in Toronto and now in Prince Edward County...
