Kyoto to nipaluna (Hobart) – Water, Fire, Earth and Nature

Artists: Aoi Kusudo, Richard Clements, Jemma Clements & Linda Chee

Aoi Kusudo is from Kyoto, Japan’s most traditional city. Aoi produces beautiful and whimsical illustrations using the ancient technique Tarashikomi (meaning “dripping in”) in a contemporary way.  Since visiting Tasmania in 2018, Aoi has begun to collaborate with Tasmanian artists who are, like her, working with the great power of Nature: Water, Fire, Earth and Native Plants.

Featuring the work of Richard Clements and Jemma Clements (Fire and Earth – glass artists), and Linda Chee (Fire, Water and Native Plants – Eco Natural Dyer).

Public program:

Artist Talk with Aoi Kusudo and Linda Chee
Wednesday 3rd April at 6pm, Schoolhouse Gallery (Free Entry)

Watercolour Workshop with Aoi Kusudo
Saturday 6th April 12-4pm, The Rosny Farm Cottage ($40, Materials Supplied)

In this workshop Aoi will work with you to create water colours in the traditional Japanese technique, from start to finish. As the technique usually requires a week to dry between stages, some paintings will be provided to work from for the final stage. All materials and paper will be supplied.
