A Rat's Life

This was a self initiated project. I wanted to learn how to do wood cutting and see how an old illustration could be made into a multilayered object. The illustration is part of a series of Chinese animal zodiac signs that I’ve been drawing since I spent some years in Vietnam, inspired by the art in the shrines all over the country.

The Rat to me symbolises the obvious notion of rat race mentality life in a big city holds but also the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the animal itself. Often times under-estimated and known to thrive in almost any environment.
