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”.  There are two themes in this artwork that stand out: the colors of black, white and red, which is unusual in PJ’s artwork and the very loose form of Asian calligraphy called “one-stroke brush painting”.  It has a strong and visual presence that creates attention.

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.
