Monotype & Xerox Transfer on Japanese Paper
17 x 20.25 inches

This xerox transfer print depicts a tardigrade, often called water bears or moss piglets. Tardigrades are near-microscopic animals with long, plump bodies and scrunched-up heads. They have eight legs, and hands with four to eight claws on each. While strangely cute, these tiny animals are nearly indestructible and can even survive in outer space. I fell in love with the resilience of this creature and developed a small experimental edition in its honor.
