Rise of the Tidal Island Queens, Mokuhanga/ Japanese Waterbased Woodcut Print , each series, edition 1/5, Awagami Hosho Select, 2023/ 2024
Series of evolving woodcut prints inspired by the XR work and VR experience with the same name. In the past I have always transformed analogue works into the digital realm, but this time I took the other way. The XR work of the Island Queens exists as an extensive digital world in Unity, and I took screenshots and transcribed those into the analogue world wood using Japanese woodcut, a beautiful but time-consuming printing technique using Japanese paper and water based colour.
