Come check out my new woodblock prints at the Virtual West Seattle ArtWalk!
I’ll be showing a series of woodblock relief prints made in 2020 from naturally felled local trees. I wanted to share their beautifully unique patterns, twists, and cracks. Each cross section is like a puzzle offering intricate clues about the life of the tree. The visual chronology that tree rings offer led me to further explore the stories that can be told. On several pieces I added my original fiction and prose in a format inspired by 18th century anatomical illustrations.
