Sarah Brayer

The Complete Prints 1980~2018

 Sarah Brayer
Sarah Brayer is an American artist based in Kyoto, Japan. This catalogue raisonné documents Sarah’s earliest print
editions – from 1980, when she first arrived in Kyoto – to her current work. It is arranged with the most recent prints
at the beginning, moving back in time to the earliest black and white etchings.
Sarah is internationally known for her large-scale, poured washi paperworks and aquatint prints. Japan’s
Ministry of Culture awarded her its Bunkacho Chokan Hyosho (Commissioner of Culture Award) in 2013 for interna-
tional dissemination of Japanese culture through her unique creations in Echizen washi.
Drawn to Japanese art through raku-style ceramics and the aquatints of Mary Cassatt, Sarah embarked on
printmaking in London in 1978. Her first etchings were printed on ceramics. The following year she received her B.A.
in Art (honors in printmaking) from Connecticut College and within months left on a backpacking journey to Japan.
Entranced by Kyoto, Sarah began making black and white aquatints of her Kyoto environs. The plates were etched in
her tiny apartment and printed at the studio of Yoshiko Fukuda (1930-82) who introduced her to the Kyoto Etching
Group. In 1981 she purchased a second-hand etching press. Artists Brian Williams and Daniel Kelly invited her to
paint together on location, and join in a group exhibition. Sarah had her first solo exhibition in Kyoto in 1983, quit her
English teaching jobs, and devoted herself to art full-time. Her first show in NYC was in 1985 at Ronin Gallery.
Piqued by an interest in transparent color blends, Sarah studied Japanese woodblock printing with Toshi Yo-
shida (1911-96) in 1982-4. Master printer Kathy Caraccio guided her through the intricacies of color aquatint print-
ing in 1984 when she returned for six-months to NYC. When an old kimono-weaving loft near the gate of Daitokuji
temple in Kyoto became available for a studio, she set up shop and continues to print there today.
Sarah first encountered poured-paperwork, a technique she would develop in Japan, during a visit to Dieu
Donné Papermill in NYC in 1986. This painterly and somewhat unpredictable technique seemed a perfect blend of
chance and design and led her to the ancient Japanese paper center of Imadate, Echizen where she began making
large-scale paper images and editions, often embedding aquatint prints into handmade washi. She has continuously
created works in Echizen since 1986, as the only western artist to do so. She returns to Dieu Donné periodically to
create paper editions using linen, a western paper fiber.
Painterly explorations in lithography were done at Hanga Kobo Press Ahead in Nara, Japan 1987-9. Many of
her aquatint plates were etched at Crown Point Press summer workshops starting in 2000, where she found excitement
in the unpredictable rosin and spit-bite techniques (painting directly with acid on a plate). She became the first foreign
woman to be chosen as the cover artist for the 2007 CWAJ Contemporary Print Show in Tokyo.
You are looking for that clear, inner essence of who you are; a place where the mind is still, Sarah began the Luminosity series in 2011 as a way to bring light directly into her art by using phosphorescent
and self-consciousness dissolves. The moment the plate hits the acid, assumptions are pigments inside the paper. When the Print Club of New York selected her to create an edition for their membership in
suspended and a transformation begins. 2017, Sarah produced Crescent Glow, a silkscreen on washi with a glowing paper moon. In 2012 Brayer spoke
about the Luminosity series at TED in Tokyo.
Sarah Brayer Sarah’s art is in the collections of the British Museum, the Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian, and the
Achenbach Foundation of Graphic Arts, to name a few. Honored in Japan in 1992, she was the first artist ever to
exhibit at Byodo-In, a World Heritage temple dating from the Heian Period (998). Residing in Kyoto, Sarah divides
her working time between Kyoto, Echizen, and New York.

 Printmaking Techniques
Intaglio – a variety of methods using copper and steel plates including aquatint, soft ground, spit bite, line etching
and drypoint.

Lithography – prints made with stone and aluminum plates.

Woodblock – works made with the Japanese method of water-based pigments printed on mulberry paper with a baren.

Collagraph – printing with acrylic plates using carborundum powder and pumice stone mixed with matt medium to
make a textured plate surface.

Po choir – a stencil printing process where ink is brushed through a stencil to form an image.

Poured paperwork – pigmented handmade paper fiber (mulberry, mitsumata, linen or cotton) that is poured through a
stencil to create tones and forms in paper which is then pressed and dried.

Chine-collé – a print in which the image is printed onto a thin sheet of Japanese mulberry paper (washi) or other paper
which is backed by a stronger, thicker sheet.

Artist-made mulberry paper – handmade washi produced in my studio or at the paper studio in Echizen, Japan for a
specific print edition.

Thanks
Thanks to the many printers and studio assistants for their help in making these prints come to fruition. A special thanks
to Kathy Caraccio for her insight into color aquatint, John Wells for his fine layout of this book, and Masa Fujiwara for
creating a heavenly environment in which to create.
