日記 1995年2月11日 (b)
Beginning in the late 1960s, Tetsuya’s decades-long series of prints
capture and date personal moments both every day and historic. His work
is usually a combination of different processes. Here, he begins by taking
a photograph and then both draws on and whites out elements before
scanning the result in a mimeograph machine to produce a stencil. He
then silkscreens the image onto a sheet of handmade Japanese paper and
applies color and shading using wood block techniques. The final work is
both precise and diffuse, much like memory accessed over time.
