Overview
The MARBLE wallpaper is hand printed by way of the traditional Japanese Art of Suminagashi, meaning ‘floating ink’.
Each piece is unique. There are no pattern repeats - we create individual rolls of 'paintings'.
The process of Suminagashi involves colors being placed on the water surface, which then begin to expand on the water. They are only encouraged to move by air, nothing else disturbs the surface. The colors move in an organic way - when a dynamic pattern has been shaped, Natascha makes a print by placing and moving the paper on the water.
Each panel is unique and signed by the Artist.
Measurements
• Each panel is 21.5" wide x 110" long
• Repeat: panels can be hung individually or as a group in any order. There is no pattern repeat and every panel is unique.
SPECIAL NOTE: This is a hand made item. Unlike traditional printing methods such as digital and screen printing, the panels will look different with every batch. Pattern/color placement will differ from what you see on the screen and what you receive if you order a sample, as everything is uniquely made to order
