In his pulp paintings, He starts with Japanese KOZO fibers that are carefully dyed to achieve rich, organic hues, using dyes that echo the tones of his surroundings. The pulp is then hand-formed, with layers of texture adding depth to the final piece, making each artwork a unique tactile experience. The process requires patience and attention to detail, as the fiber’s texture plays a crucial role in how the painting will evolve. Working on a scale that matches the size of his body, he creates an intimate connection with his work, allowing the act of creation to be a physical experience.
