River Escapes

"This particular artwork in the ""Extremities Collection"" ongoing body of work were created to promote faith, hope, and reliance on something greater than ourselves and our struggles or oppression. These works often feature an omnipotent element of guidance and leadership. This piece represents a need to be free from oppression and a belief that a greater power will lead me away from entrapment and inequity.The creation of these pieces are multifaceted as I start with drawing, move to carving lino or wood, hand dying papers, printing my extremities via the printmaking process, painting and stenciling multiple layers, configuring, and drying in order to layer all elements, including the addition of specialty papers, and other elements to balance the collage to completion. The pre-planning of the collage piece is based on intended meaning or sentiment of the overall piece, color, and the expressions represented through the hand positioning of the linocuts or wood cuts."
