About the work
This print is from Yoshida Ayomi's Touches series, begun in 1988. The artist took her inspiration for the series from photographs of the Kanda River in Tokyo, which flows by both her parents’ home and that of her grandparents, where she was born. In order to express the rhythm and patterns of the water graphically, she abstracted the play of light on the surface as vertical strokes and printed in bright colors. Ayomi hoped that the unnatural color scheme would allow the viewer to focus on pattern and not immediately identify the printed images with water.
