The year commencing is the year of the pig, being a sign of fortune and wealth in Chinese culture. The artist Sigrid Holmwood spent some time in China as an artist in residence in 2011 and 2014 where some of her artwork was influenced, including making paint from Chinese indigo that she could harvest upon her arrival, having been planted previously in preparation.
