Kaji

By Tracy Hill 2025 - 2026

Kaji is a large woodblock print installation of a resonance pattern between lake stones and water. 

Lake water and tusche was mixed on the lake side and placed in a dish with a lake stone.  The wind and weather then combined to move the drawing ink until the pigment settled into a rhythmic trace of the days conditions.  These drawings were recorded as photographs each day and later reinterpreted as laser cut woodblock prints.  

Using a QR code provided in the gallery you are able to activate the printed panels with your phone or tablet. 

The image is animated with the rhythms created captured from a sound recording of the wind on top of Malla overlooking lake kilpisjarvi.
