Matt makes color woodblock prints using the traditional
Japanese hanga method. This is printing with brushes and
a hand-held baren from hand-carved wood blocks using rice
paste, pigments and water. This technique is the approach
used to make the ukiyo-e prints of Hokusai, Hiroshige,
and others.

Statement: I love the process of making these prints:
the way pictorial simplicity is encouraged, the way an
image is separated into parts and put back together, the
way the translucent colors blend and juxtapose, the way
the wood interacts with the paper.
