Special waterproof pigments are used for coloring. Compositions on rice paper have to be "wet mounted" to flatten the painted paper and set the image. A painting is wet completely with water and adhesive is applied to the back. A second layer of paper is adhered on back and the painting is set out to dry. Slight blurring or bubbles are the result of this traditional mounting practice. On Pottery, Griffith Tso trades her ink and water for underglazes, pigments that are brushed on before adding a transparent glossy coat of glaze. Her unpainted forms are made by hand, either thrown on a potter's wheel or fashioned from thin slabs of of clay and go through two firings making them food-, microwave- and oven-safe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608ffaa5b3cfb07ddf16aec7/1620236041319-8Q0XTHD4D36E5XDOKPOU/sschop.jpg Home - Artform + Artist - Chops Symbols that are stamped are commonly the artist's name though they also can have various auspicious meanings. Seals are carved soapstone or agate and stamped using a paste made from cinnabar and mineral oil, creating a rich red, the color representing good fortune and integrity.

The lotus is a classic Buddhist symbol of purity, harmony and perfection as buds miraculously emerge from muddy waters, blooming dramatically, embodying an enlightened existence. The lore of the dragonfly is rooted in the invincible dragon and it is said they are formed from dragons’ shed skin. The sacred red dragonfly depicted in a obelisk posture used to stay cool from sunlight, represents strength, courage and happiness and is linked with serenity and rejuvenation. Fossils document that dragonflies existed before dinosaurs, more than 2 million years ago, demonstrating remarkable staying power, the reason that emperors and samurai adopted them as monikers.

One of the largest of its species, these cranes stand five feet tall and weigh 16 to 22 pounds. The courter performs an elaborate mating ritual, bowing the head while leaping, extending and flapping wings. Mates join in and sometimes the whole flock, too. Pairs call to each other with vocalizations resonating over two miles. They are endangered due to habitat loss and hunting, numbering approximately 3,000 globally. Cranes are revered and thought to be immortal in ancient times, outranked only by the Phoenix, the imperial bird. They symbolize longevity and peace and have a cap of red skin, the color of good fortune and integrity. As they are monogamous, staying with one mate until death, they embody long-lasting love and fidelity. Snow is associated with white jade, a precious stone in China that is considered strong, pure and said to bring prosperity.
