A square plywood panel with a tiger and a coiled dragon burned into the pale grain in fine line, columns of kanji at the upper left and lower right, and a heavily scorched black border around all four edges.

Detail of the burned dragon: scaled body, clawed feet and whiskered head drawn in thin scorched line, with a column of kanji burned beside it.

Detail of the burned tiger prowling beneath two kanji characters, its stripes and face built from short burned strokes against the charred edge of the panel.

Tiger and Dragon

2024

A tiger and a dragon burned into plywood in fine line, squared off by two columns of kanji. The border is scorched black and left ragged, so the drawing sits in a hole burned out of the panel rather than on top of it.
