Artist/Maker
Place of origin

'Dances with Michael' is part of an ongoing series of drawings. Each drawing is constructed through an improvised and unpredictable process which Ginsborg calls the 'dance'. An important part of this drawing's identity lies in its use of Japanese paper. Made from plant fibres, it has a different quality both in look and texture to western papers.
