After experiencing the pain of losing her husband, a 90-year-old Japanese grandmother entered the world of collage with the encouragement of her family. She first makes a rough draft of each work, and then collages it with the required colors from newspapers. The works include animals, food, and various common supplies in life.
The old lady’s use of color is very detailed, and she cleverly uses the shades of colors to create layers or shadows. Perhaps because of the characteristics of the paper itself, after tearing off the newspaper, you can still vaguely see the faint rough edges, stained with paste. Pasted on paper, it has the texture of a watercolor painting, coupled with homely essays and text, it is plain and plain, but it reveals the flavor of life.
