Oxen on the line

This shows several lino block prints of an ox, the second animal in the Chinese zodiac. The Chinese character 'niu' is carved, like a brand on the ox; it means ox, cow or bull. The print in made in black water-based block printing ink on handmade Japanese kozo (or mulberry paper). It is limited to an edition of 30 prints. You can see some Cariboo, art post cards and a mask I made from crocus leaf paper and pussy willows, which also hang in my tiny studio.
