ANDREA DEZSO GALLERY

I created this body of work during the pandemic. It was directly inspired by Adam’s experimental sumi ink painting. Watching Adam’s daily practice and hearing him talk about what he wanted to create, the behavior of different paper surfaces, water pushing against ink directing its path, got me curious to try this for myself. I worked with kitakata (gampi) paper which I painted with liquid watercolors first. The process I developed is a call and response with the materials — I made a set of quick ink gestures on the wet surface of the paper at night, then placed a sheet of glass with heavy weights on top of the paper and left the studio. In the morning I found the image that developed from my initial ink gestures and the reaction of the water pushing against the gestures under pressure.
