Music Families series can be dated back to 1999. I looked at European religious paintings of the Renaissance period. There are always baby-like angel figures playing music instruments. I borrowed the images but transformed the bodies into instruments.

In 2008 I worked on this series again in an Ukiyo-e woodblock print project. Initiated by printer Eitaro Ogawa at the Singapore Tyler Print Institute (STPI), I made line drawings of the new Music Families set which were then carved by Kyoto-based woodblock carver/printer Shoichi Kitamura. We met up in Singapore to see the colour proofs of the prints in traditional Ukiyo-e style and technique. The project was finished and presented by the STPI in 2009.

音樂家庭系列始於1999年，當時我留心看許多歐洲文藝復興時的宗教繪畫，被當中彈奏樂器又如小孩的天使造型所吸引，以為是中國嬰戲圖的同工異曲，於是製作了一批人形樂器畫幅。

2008年時，我又有機會發展這題目。今次是於新加坡泰勒版畫院的版畫家小川榮太郎，為我引線，介紹日本京都的浮世繪彫版師北村昇一，先由我繪圖，再交北村彫版。大家在新加坡會合，以傳統日式浮世繪風格印刷而成，於2009年在泰勒版畫院發行及展出。
