Yvonne Hering - Printmaker : Ars Longa, Vita Brevis

When mokuhanga becomes a passion, I find it has the ability to clarify everything, in how you see the world, how you take everything in, and even how you analyze it. Mokuhanga has the ability to make so many things come into focus, pointing you into a clearer direction.   On this episode, I speak with Australian printmaker Yvonne Hering. Yvonne has taken her passion for mokuhanga and made it her life's work. Through her own prints, her travels to Japan, and her dedication to teaching, she has helped bring mokuhanga to people around the world.   We talk about her teachers, and how patterns in prints led her to try mokuhanga for the first time. We discuss her early days in Tokyo, and how the tradition and history of mokuhanga play a major role in her own work. We also explore her thoughts on selling prints through auctions, her evolving process, and the development of her Washi Fusion approach. Yvonne also speaks with me about her love of mokuhanga books, her studio practice, and her connection to Echizen. Notes: may contain a hyperlink. Simply click on the highlighted word or phrase.
