Huizhou Inksticks

Before a brush meets paper, there is the craft of making ink. Huizhou inksticks connect the material world of the workshop with the visual traditions of Chinese writing.

An inkstick is both a working material and an object of decoration. Its moulded form and finished surface connect workshop skills with the traditions of the brush.
