Boisjolie, Carli
Description:
Book of ink and watercolors inkjet printed on vellum paper with stab binding. Edition of 20. Artist's statement: "This book is a reproduction of a book of ink and watercolor drawings. It was originally created during the Shiro Oni Studio Artist in Residency Program in 2016. The illustrations depict homes and buildings in Onishi, Gunma Prefecture, Japan. The book was created to preserve the unique and historic buildings in this rural area, which are largely being torn down for gentrification. The sequence of the book emulates walking through Onishi and discovering new buildings. Some of the buildings are significant to the townspeople, whereas some of them are abandoned. All of them contribute to the charm of the town, which feels as if it has been frozen in time, just as the book has done."
