five-fingered

hand of blessing:

the most prominent & enduring symbol

of female divinity

​many-tailed foxes

with supernatural abilities

spirit-animals

depicted

in ancestral forms

​an ode to

the ever-evolving traditions of manuscripts and the marriage between

art and narrative

how the peacock becomes a phoenix:

transformation and potential

noble guardian spirits from Asia

yuletide elk:

the young calf

& the old bull;

light reborn in the darkness of winter
