Kumi Korf: Tumbled in Gold

Small Prints 2000-2019

September 18th - November 27th 2021

We are pleased to present a series of small prints by gallery artist Kumi Korf. The pieces were created between 2000-2019 and continue the artist’s exploration of the intaglio process.

Combining sugar-lift, spit-bite, aquatint and chine-collé, the prints are complex, building on the spontaneous lines and shapes found in the artist’s sumi-e ink drawings but with both saturated color and metallic inks.

In contrast to her larger works, which are made using a thin, translucent paper, the small works are printed on heavy cotton rag paper and incorporate chine collé.

Ms Korf, an architect and artist, printed these works in her studio in Ithaca, New York. A space she designed and built on a large wooded property.

The natural world is the source material for the imagery but it is the artist’s interpretation of this place, the blending of memories from her childhood in Japan with those made from years spent exploring this rural area that make these works so rewarding.
