'COW BELLS OR DRAGON BOAT, WHAT DO YOU SEE?' Original Print, Mixed Media Ink Drawing

The piece titled 'COW BELLS OR DRAGON BOAT, WHAT DO YOU SEE?' is an intriguing example of ambiguous imagery and perceptual duality, akin to the concept of a visual pun where the interpretation can shift between two distinct images based on the observer's perception. This style is reminiscent of traditional thematic ambiguity in art, where the image can be seen in multiple ways depending on the viewer's perspective and interpretation.The artwork is created through a monochromatic palette, employing a stark contrast between black and white to delineate forms and patterns. The central area of the image is dense with intricate, symmetrical patterns that could be interpreted as either the ornate decoration of dragon boat prows or the detailed textural surface of cowbells. The surrounding space is filled with dot patterns and line motifs that contribute to the overall rhythm of the composition, possibly mimicking the water's surface for the dragon boat interpretation or the pastoral setting
