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.

This linocut is based on cunieform writing, with very old Nepalese printing blocks printed above and below. A friend found these blocks in Nepal and purchased them for me. It also includes gold paper in a process called chine-colle . Chine-colle is a collage method for adding color to a print during the printing process.
