This woodcut was part of a series I consider an homage to the world of print media and language. Social media sites were in full tilt, twitter was taking off- texting was leaving me in the dust. I carved several sheets of plywood for printing but felt that OMG most captured my feeling about the digital revolution and our ability as humans to adapt to a rapidly changing world. The Third Wave and Global village are upon us- and so is Emily Dickinson with her keen eye to spot the universal story in the garden.

Artist Statement

I use a variety of media to explore the ways we humans record the experience of being alive. I like paper because of the way it holds memory, from printed words to stains and creases. Each work on paper is unique. Ink, paint, graphite, ephemera, and text, converge in what appear as urgent records of discovery, inviting the mind to wonder, searching the fringe of consciousness for a narrative thread.
