Artwork Description

This is a Gyotaku of a Grass Emperor. It is a life sized image obtained by applying paint on the fish, laying the cotton over it, and rubbing the cotton in to capture the imprint. Details were added after the process

I practice the Japanese art form of Gyotaku, creating life-sized images of fish and other marine and land creatures. Paint or ink is applied on the fish and a fabric is laid over the fish and rubbed in to obtain the imprint. Additional details are added after the process.
