Koi Nobori - flying carp: Wax resist dying techniques on handmade paperElaine Cooper studied traditional papermaking in Japan for 10 years. Her exquisite papers provide the perfect medium for her detailed fine art work, and her creations have a resonance, beauty and depth that is sublime. Her paintings on stained glass papers are inspired.

Koi are revered by the Japanese for their elegance, symbolism and harmonious relationship with nature and man. Their colours, movement and life force form the main theme of Rainbow Dancing.

This fascinating exhibition features a selection of paintings on stained glass papers, original prints and etchings, handmade papers and papersculptures and other works by the artist.
