Fire Etching
Homma deals with notion of transience in her works. This notion of transience was acutely felt in 2o11 whenTsunami and Nuclear Fallout Disaster hit Japan.
The images seen in Homma’s work are not by a pigment sitting on a surface, but by a technique normally associated with secret correspondence used in the past called “Aburidashi” in Japanese. Invisiblee Ink made with lemon juice is used to render the image slightly altering the delicate balance of paper, once exposed to the fire images are burnt into as an integral part of paper. The resulting image contains a level of fragility and notion of death within it by nature.
