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.

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.
