N is for Nua Gua

"Nua Gua's Dream"                    
pigment inkjet print 33 x 48 cm, 14 x 17 inches

"Nua Gua's Dream" was a print that I created for a Printmakers Council exhibition held at the James hockey gallery in Farnham Surrey.  I think the gallery was called something like the "Stanley.....something or other"at the time, but now it's called the James Hockey etc.   The other thing is that although it was/is called a Foyer Gallery - it was/is in fact, quite spacious, most likely it was purpose built.

Pu Yi is the young boy in the image which was partially inspired by medieval illuminations, as in, the way they divide the space horizontally and by figures from Chinese Mythology, which also featured quite a number of Dragons.
