Finalist at the Northern Beaches Environmental Art & Design Prize 2023
Artist: Midori Furze
Title: Relax
Category: Works on paper
Medium: Drypoint etching on archival paper/Milk carton, water-based ink, print scribes, etching tool, scissors, ruler, a soft rubber brayer
Sizes: 48x40cm Framed
My art reflects a sense of simplicity and harmony with nature. By using recycled materials to create my prints, I hope to bring attention to the importance of sustainability and the need to protect our environment.
As a Japanese artist, I draw inspiration from the traditional Japanese partitions and doors, which feature four rectangles. In my work, I create unique drypoint prints using old milk cartons as plates. The lines in my prints divide the plate into four sections, revealing the original rectangular shape. I use blank space as an important feature in my art, as it is in many traditional Japanese artworks.

Ryokan Gojyuan Open day
Ryokan Gojyuan is an unique Japanese style accommodation in Sydney.
The Australian & owner, Linda loves Japan and she renovated her home into a small Ryokan. Once you step inside, you feel like you are already in Japan!
She organises Japanese cultural workshops and I run origami workshops and Koto no Wa workshops monthly.
We had an open day in August 2018, we had a record number of visitors.
The visitors admired my origami artworks and sumi ink drawings. Feel so great to chat with people who like the Japanese culture.
I wore kimono and also played the koto, Japanese traditional musical instrument. It was a really nice day.
