Mulberry Paper (Hanji), rice paper, assorted decorative papers, “manga” (Japanese comics), newspaper clippings, and encaustic medium

PJ takes the art form of the Joomchi technique to a new level by fusing many forms of papers together in this new series titled “Koro Koro”.  The theme found in this artwork are easy to see with the messages of love and endearment quite evident.  “The idea for this piece came together quite easily” said PJ, “I found the clippings from the manga, Japanese comics, right away and then the colors to go with the feeling of love and happiness were easy to pick.”

Joomchi is a 500-year-old Korean paper-making technique that uses water to fuse several layers of handmade mulberry papers (Hanji) together. PJ Bergin is bringing her unique artistic sensibility to this ancient medium.

Ready for Hanging. A custom metal bracket is included for easy installation.  It gives the artwork the illusion of floating off the wall forming unique shadows and reflections.
