Formosan Sika Deer keep their spots long after they grow into adulthood. They are indigenous to Taiwan, and I've included them in my newest #woodcut and #printmaking projects as a part of familial storytelling. #printpromptmonday #growth #taiwaneseamericanartist 💜🖼️

“The Golden Cage” is an #artistsbook about a homing pigeon who leaves behind what he knows in search of greater purpose. He becomes a messenger in the human world—delivering empty messages for heads divided from the people they fail to lead. #woodcut #contemporaryprint 🐡💜🖼️ #printpromptmonday #earth

Fènghuáng 鳳凰 is a mythological bird that disappears during times of political corruption. They only reappear before humans after a transition to new leadership and an era of peace and justice. 40" x 30" #woodcut on canvas, one half of diptych #printpromptmonday #magic #fenghuang

#PrintPromptMonday #WIP #InProgress shots of Cycle | Breaking and Making. From my Negotiation Table series. I carved woodcuts of the mythological Fènghuáng and Pigeon and embedded them in a Chippendale table to resemble inlaid jade. #colonialism #chinoiserie #dei #imperialhistory 💜🖼️ #printsky

#printpromptmonday #water In this #woodcut diptych, water instead of land is the geographic anchor, with the Great Lakes blooming at the top of the map. The map of my migration roots downward in defiance of the colonial map. Title: My Migration Route | Iris Roots Clean the Water #printsky

Close-up of An Ethic is a Root, a #woodcut installation. The work centers on a map of my migration. I repeatedly subvert the colonial map, placing the original woodblock upside down and revealing only its reflection below the prints. #printpromptmonday #flipped 💜🖼️ 📸 @khimmatahipol.bsky.social
