Hibiki Miyazaki’s influences include old movies and printed illustrations from the thirties, forties and fifties, which have a dreamlike and slightly naive quality to the characters. To produce her prints she uses sandblasted copper plates, line etching, spit bite, and xerox transfer.

Sometimes this whole process seems ridiculously arduous and arcane but that’s what I love about it too…..
