#flamingplate

So happy my friend introduced me to #NikkoSojuSarang. Probably my favorite part of this #Sushi joint is it's open late. The down part is it's not open Sunday. However, the #NikkoRoll is the signature #SushiRoll on a #FlamingPlate & it's a must have. What a sushi dish.#ThankYou #NikkoSushi (at Nikko Sushi)

So I saw on a video John Cage’s “flaming plate,” where he sets up paper on fire while running it through the press! (because that is totally safe...). I love the idea of chance while doing artwork, because the flames, while going through the press, leave different marks that are not controlled by the artist, but by chance itself. This work relates entirely on process because the artist did not plan the design himself. The artwork IS the process. He did add his own personal touch at the end by putting a dark circle on the corner, so an intentional part was added. The content of the project was the whole process: bruning the paper, peeling off the burned paper from the plate, going through a chemical process to reveal and seal the print, add the personal touch, and finish it. I completely loved this idea. I wonder if we could try it in class?
