Space Man lX - Limited Edition of 10 Print

My roots are from Japan, where printmaking began in the 8th century. Not with images but with words and prayers. by the 17th century an independent art form was being recognized and practiced widely. For me printmaking is never subordinate to painting or sculpture but is equal. It is a very natural skill for me to express my ideas as art. its like a basic instinct as a Japanese… I also draw inspiration for this idea from the mid 12 century Japanese Animal person caricatures Choju-Jinbutsu- Giga From the Kozan-Ji temple in Kyoto Why etching not woodcut. In the beginning I started wood cut and then with copper plate etching I found more possibilities to challenge myself to express a more complicated and deeper world in my images. Etching’s sharp line, delicate line and chemical reaction on the plate are all the evidence of my hand in the making of my work.
