Part of the edition / power in numbers exhibition from Bodhi Art Gallery, Brick Lane (7th May - 27th of May) this accomplished illustration from Heejohng has been hand pulled by James Hurst (Cure Studio) and Fred Higginson (Print Club London) in a limited edition of 50.

Born in New York City and raised in Minnesota, Heejohng is a big city girl with a small town heart - and that sensitivity and polished execution is evident in her work.

"Black & White" is the uncolored version of one piece of a series that I am currently working on. I've been drawing (and painting) the fish swimming in a spiral since my first sketchbook. I believe I'd had at least 5 or 6 renditions of this pattern before I created the first piece of this particular series. I colored the original drawing, so "black & white" exists only in digital form. A friend once told me her philosophy on Life many years ago. She described each person as a large piece of glass (or a mirror) that is whole, but when you are born, the glass shatters into a million pieces that float off into space. As you go through Life and meet people and have experiences, one of their shards fits with yours, and you keep collecting more shards until you are whole again. I wanted to create a background that resembled this shattered glass. I worked on "Black & White" intermittently from about January to November 2007.

The print is 50cm by 50cm and has been hand numbered and embossed as a mark of authenticity. It is a limited edition of 50. The paper is Heritage White which is an archival paper and printed in Neptune Inks (which gives this an amazing shine). It will be posted via registered post in a safety tube.
