I use slabs of wood which are very suitable for woodcutting. It's a kind of wood with 5 layers. The effect is very fine, smooth and exquisite. So the wood is easy and not difficult at all. Before I start cutting the wood, I will paint printing ink on the slabs of wood, then I start to cut the wood.
Every piece is like a story.
I like fish because they can swim freely in water. I put several heads on a body because heads are the symbol of intelligence. The 2 or 3 heads means not a little intelligence, but a lot. When there are 2 heads, one male and one female, that symbolizes a happy union of man and woman. Ren Hui's woodcuts are each unique.
