ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This piece is composed of a series of drawings layered upon one another, carved and incised into the surface of a wood panel. I approach my work from the background of a printmaker, and practice Japanese wood block technique, though in this work I employ my print matrix carving as the substrate of the piece. Aspects of it are calligraphic, with some images of floral landscapes mixed in. What I love about this work is the neutralizing effect of the monochromatic cream paint to the entire surface. It blends all of the various drawn elements in my work and the entire composition becomes a surface that draws a viewer in, it is an artwork ABOUT surface, texture and material. In a way, this is a postmodern approach to woodcut printmaking where the woodblock is the artwork, and image is subverted by the form of the carving itself. A truly one of a kind piece.

ARTIST STATEMENT As a wood block printmaker, I use the medium to draw with light and shadow. The organic grain of wood serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and the uniqueness of each piece. Plants symbolize growth and resilience, reflecting my own personal journey. Through a labor-intensive process, I create art that conveys the fragility and strength of life. My hope is that my work encourages viewers to reflect on their relationship with the natural world and find comfort, inspiration, and growth.
