Watercolour on giang paper.
Description
The artwork employs traditional techniques of deep silk-dyeing combined with the distinctive method of painting with textured pigments on giang (a type of bamboo) paper resulting in a unique surface effect. The artist constructs an imagined world within a fictional reality, existing alongside a real world which is already in the throes of decay and destruction. It is a multidimensional galaxy, stretching infinitely in deep, verdant blues, where primordial beings exist and interact with one another.
