Printmakers who knows about colours

Printing texts on the fabric, at Silk Screen Workshop 'Kuriya Graphic' in Musashino City, next to Suginami ward where Youkobo is located.

Selecting colour from a book on Japanese Traditional Colour. Elizabeth chose to create an gradation of blue colour for her second text.

The director, Mr. Matsumura and his assistant, Ms. Tanaka. They are printers and artists. Elizabeth says, "Mr. Matsumura is genious." He is, indeed, and Ms. Tanaka gives him an excellent assist. They were willing to play with colours according to what is in the text, and in relation to the colour of fabric.

The piece should be graphically interesting as well as being readable.

The director of Kuriya Graphic worked for making a lecture poster for French Institute for 20 years. He has even a record of Derrida giving lecture on languages. As a sculpture who pays attention to any detail in the world, including a warm on the street, what will she translate from everyday ordinary to extraordinary... from language to object. Only I could do might be weaving my little thoughts as I translate languages.
