Indigo

Looking down over the crowds from a walkway in Tokyo’s Shibuya station during a thunderstorm gave Hermione a starting point for a series of drawings, paintings and original prints in which she tries to capture an essence of the atmosphere and bustle of Japanese street life. In Indigo she depicts the crowds as a sea of umbrellas that transform her memory of this scene into metaphors of life in a busy city. As the work evolves through layering drawings with paper cut stencils digitally, spaces mingle and blur as they take on new meanings and interpretations.
