Kama Sutra...

Eroticism, the appreciation of the sensual and sexual aspects of life involves all the senses, an interplay of touch, taste, smell, sight and sound. The Kama Sutra is an ancient explicit manual for the art of lovemaking. This series of twelve is made with handmade Sikkinese paper treated with a solution of methyl cellulose and cochineal powdered pigment. Mounted above midline on the paper is a 5" x 5" watercolor edged on two sides with strips of gold pigmented paper. The name of each individual piece in the series is derived from phrases in the Kama Sutra text. For additional information on the making of the paper, please see the papermaking section of this site.
