Woodcut. 10'' x 8''
"I lived in an apartment at 17th and Union in the 80s. The print is of leftovers from lunch probably." - Bi-lan Chiong
With guidance from Lynda Sherman, this woodcut was printed with Gamblin relief ink on Japanese printing paper using a baren. A baren is a pad of twisted cord covered with a bamboo leaf which is used to transfer the image to the paper from the wooden block.
About Bi-lan
Bi-lan and her family moved to Seattle in 1963 to start a new life back in America. She spent her years through high school in Tokyo, which greatly influenced her artistic path. She studied Fine Arts at the Cornish School of the Arts, studied painting at the San Francisco Institute of Art and the Seattle Studio School founded by Frank Okada. "Painting is a difficult path to follow which I did until my early 40's and since then have always had to make things with my hands and eyes." She did linocuts in her 30's and last year, found in her basement, linocut blocks, some of which have never been printed.
