Ohad Tsfati is a contemporary Israeli artist who creates objects from handmade paper. Employing a method similar to the Japanese technique for creating washi, Tsfati processes mulberry bark fibers to create heavily textured paper pulp. He then manipulates the pulp into different forms to create wall hangings, bowls, and light fixtures. Tsfati stains these surfaces with natural dyes like indigo, spinning and tilting the pieces to achieve a richly pigmented appearance reminiscent of the natural world from which he takes inspiration.
