Proclamation

This was inspired by some very old pages of writing that I purchased while visiting the medieval  town of Monpazier, while in the Dordogne region of France.

Shrine

Mixed media monotype mounted on board

This monotype is from the “characters” series .  It was conceived as a shrine to the ancestors, and includes fish bones to suggest the fact that we all originally came from the sea.  The central section is cut into the board and has an overlay of translucent rice paper.





Ancestors

These are invented characters based on ancient Chinese pictographs.  The central quadrant has a translucent overlay to suggest a greater distance in time from these figures.

Pilgrimage

29 08 2010

This is a mixed media monoprint  which includes Japanese and Sanskrit writing as well as invented symbols.  The upper portion of the print contains the image of a happi coat which was a gift from a Japanese student.  This type of coat was used on a sort of pilgrimage , which I thought was a good metaphor for an artwork which involved making a creative journey.





Summer Song

     Summer Song  The central segment of this mixed-media print is an etching which was inspired by  the spartina grasses, prevalent along the marsh edges of Cape Cod . I imagined the sound of the wind in the grasses expressed in the symbols in the  lowest section of the image.
