I Love Japan – Translucency

Translucency and layering are essential features of Veronika Schäpers clear and minimalistic works.
The course focuses on translucent materials such as ultra-thin Japanese tissue, coated films and industrially produced paper from Japan. These will be decorated with translucent colours and stamped with the Prägnant or other simple printing techniques. The effect of superimpositions and the interplay of light and shadow will be examined. The pages are then bound in materials that are also translucent; various book forms, such as those developed by Veronika Schäpers for her artist books, serve as models.
The aim is to get to know reduced structures and techniques as well as unusual materials and to use them subtly and surprisingly.
