Paper Horses: Messengers of Change
| The Beast Face and the River of Life shows the birth of the Dream Animals from Bright Omens and the harvest of their symbols by the bamboo or book shamans. |
The Paper Horses (mazhang), also called “spirit-money” or “ceremonial papers”, are original woodcut serigraphs that carry vivid images shaped by the symbols of Yijing, the Classic of Change and the tradition of ritual artifacts from the old tombs. Traditionally these Horses were offered to the Ghosts and Spirits and the Ancestors whenever the need to communicate with them arose. They express our need to be heard by the spirit-world and call out for a response with the bold, tireless and resolute strength of the Horse Spirits for which they are named.
