Did You Know?

The artist chose a thin Japanese Akatosashi paper for this print specifically for its sheen and translucency.

Description

Bringing together influences from both Japanese traditional arts (for example, the scroll format of this print) and European modernism (for example, the abstracted forms), Kumi Korf’s primary inspiration is rooted in the natural world. In Bough and the Cradle Falls an amorphic figure in saturated autumnal red gently tumbles down from the soft blue field, evoking the verses of the nursery rhyme, which is both somber and resonant.
A vertically oriented intaglio and stencil print on light tan paper divides the background into muted green and pale yellow halves. In the lower section, rhythmic gray brushstrokes sweep diagonally across the yellow. From the top left, a blocky purple-gray form extends downward. A thin red line loops vertically through the center, while a reddish-purple organic shape and a small green leaf-like form punctuate the right side against the layered tones.
