HAGINAKA Mayu
Biography
HAGINAKA Mayu pursues technical research in mezzotint, exploring the black produced by differences in a rocker's date of manufacture and degree of wear. Under heavy pressure, ink permeates deep into the fibers of the paper and deforms its surface. HAGINAKA's black emerges not as the color of ink but as the transformed materiality of the paper.
