The world wide connection of mokuhanga is a vast one. Working and living in Cape Town, South Africa; Natasha Norman is a talented artist involved in several types of printmaking. One of those types of printmaking is, of course, mokuhanga. Along with her independent work as a mokuhanga printmaker, Natasha is involved in the 'Mokuhanga-kai', a group she co-founded with printmaker Oliver Hambsch, where as a group, they attempt to spread the message and ideals of mokuhanga and Japanese culture. In this episode of The Unfinished Print I speak with Natasha Norman about her mokuhanga journey, from MI Lab to her current mokuhanga works. Natasha also speaks on what it's like to source materials for her mokuhanga work while living in South Africa.
