Ink Wash

100x100mm

The soft, smoky grey of diluted ink drifting across rice paper, the moment before a brushstroke becomes a mountain. Of all the Chinese arts, none prizes restraint like ink painting, and this hue holds that same serene austerity—Zen quiet made visible. Built from the faintest trace of iron in a reduction atmosphere, it is a study in control: a tone so delicate the artisan must hold the kiln in perfect balance, lest the grey tip into colour.
