Yatagarasu
 |
| Yatagarasu, 2013 |
Three legged crow is also depicted in various mythologies around the world such as China and Northern Africa.
There is a close relationship between crows in mythologies around the world and the sun.
In Japanese mythology, it's considered an embodiment of the sun too, the concept that's likely to have come from China.
Ainu ( indigenous people in northern island of Japan and islands in Russia), Greek and Inuit mythologies also show the relationship of the sun and crows.
This image of Yatagarasu is actually a rare albino crow.
I started reading about the significance of crows after I found a drawing of it in my sketchbook.
I decided to call it Yatagarasu as a white crow looked ethereal and otherworldly to me.
Images of crow in relation to the myths and folklores is something I would like to pursue further in the future. I hope this Yatagarasu print is the first of many more crow prints to come!
This print is edition of 50 and available at Port Jackson Press and Printmaker gallery in Melbourne, Odd One Out in Hong Kong as well as my online store.

I want more rabbits!
 |
| I want more rabbits! original book |
I want more rabbits! is a little book about multiplying rabbits I made while I was artist in residence at Australian Tapestry Workshop.
It's a concertina book with original drawings of watercolour and ink.

I then decided that I also want to make a digital print version of this because I wanted to multiply these multiplying rabbits.
So I scanned and got my friend and font king Cameron to help me coordinate the books with additional cool English and Japanese fonts.

I hope they will multiply in different locations soon.

Animalis
My etching show Animalis is at Port Jackson Press until 30 September.
Animalis is a Latin word for 'living creature' as well as 'airy', 'having breath' or 'spiritual'.
It's as though I haven't made a point about my love for drawing animals!
However, I hope this selection of prints at Port Jackson Press will highlight my fixation / obsession into animal forms.
Drawing animals is the one and maybe the only thing I have kept doing since childhood for as long as I can remember.
I gave up on playing piano, math, unicycling, writing poems and all sort of things as a kid.
Drawing animals continues to fascinate me to this day.
I'm trying to depict them in different media such as woodblock and tapestry, which I will write about on some other day.
Danielle Creenaune, Australian printmaker based in Barcelona, is exhibiting "Impermanence" with her lithographs and etchings and Ema Shin is showing her installation "My garden" with prints on textile and paper mache at the Little Window of Opportunity (her work can be viewed 24/7)
Here are sneak photos of Danielle and Ema's works. My works weren't up then so will put it up som other time.

Sorry Danielle... I couldn't get the colour right in the photo.
It's actually really lovely green, blue and black of different depths.
There are much more prints so please go see them in the gallery!
I really like the mark-making!

| Detail of Ema Shin's prints and embroidery at Little Window |
You see Ema's signature colours with detailed hand-sewn embroidery.
This is only a small section of the entire print and installation.
She surrounded this print with her paper mache objects that reminds me of scientific specimen, but simultaneously festival masks in Japan!
Exhibition will continue until 30 September.
