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”.  Embedded in the artwork messages can be found giving the viewer hints of PJ’s thoughts while creating the piece.  A quiet feeling of inner calm and well-being emits through the tranquil colors and shapes of this artwork.  It is easy to see how this artwork can evoke the same serenity in the space it will reside.

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.
