Waterworks (2020)

I, like so many other people, love water, swimming in it, being in it, looking at it. Sailing on it is okay but mostly when I also get to jump in. Scary and soothing, still and moving, clear and murky, calm and completely wild.

Water captures my attention and I return to it again and again, the way it changes, and the way I change with it.

My preliminary drawing on the left was the starting point for this project. Based on that I created four woodblocks (right) that I mixed, matched and layered to create the monoprints.

Each print is 11 x 9 inches.
