Setsuna tissue paper designed by artist, Janice Chuang.

“To open my mother’s bedside drawer is to follow the rabbit down into a tunnel of home videos played back in my mind, of daydreams about who she might be today, of who we might be together. Sifting through what she left behind — the small watch that she wore daily, the bits of lace tatting she never finished — is never easy.

Setsuna is a small catalog of these findings from a life past, an attempt to capture a brief moment of time and render it more permanent. The printing of this paper is fashioned after the cyanotype, a process that uses the sun’s rays to convert the shadow of an object into a Prussian Blue image, a photogram of a moment soon to pass.”

Printed with soy-based ink on acid-free paper.

10 sheets. Each sheet measures 20" x 15".
