Abstract

There is a complex and alluring involvement resulting from the printing of reductive and multiple wood blocks that I am currently exploring. My imagery frequently involves the formal structural elements of the grid combined with the organic qualities and movement found in natural materials such as wood. Rather than representing literal or figurative images, I am more concerned with sharing a feeling or thought, inviting the viewer to have an experiential response to my work. I am exploring and utilizing the nature of different materials, which helps me to deal with my imagery in a gentle, thoughtful approach. I value the involvement of the processes of printmaking and the myriad possibilities that come with working with multiples. The elements of the spirit of the creative journey and the act of discovery are significant factors in enhancing the development of my imagery.
