Kumi Korf’s *Palingenesis (B1)* is an abstract print from 1998 made with a bone folder. This tool lets her draw fine lines or broad strokes while etching. The prints feel formal but hint at cave paintings. Korf grew up in Japan and now lives in the USA. She started using the bone folder in 1998 for her *Palingenesis* series. The prints connect human survival to image-making, inspired by Herbert Read’s cave art lectures. Look up the bone folder technique next.
