Wataru Hatano is a paper artist based in Ayabe, Kyoto Prefecture, who handcrafts Kurotani washi paper. Centering his practice on concepts such as darkness and light, circulation and severance, he creates works that give visual form to an ambiguous world arising from the act of simply existing. Through natural materials and slow, deliberate handwork, he weaves a critique of contemporary consumer culture into his art, while remaining dedicated to a creative practice rooted in the sense of passing something on to future generations.
