four season rug (Canadian) - etching and relief on washi with hand and machine stitching, 43.5" x 58" 2010
The exhibition ‘soft celebration’ is a quiet observance and appreciation for all the small stages and events in life that when patched together, add up to who and where we are now. Through utilizing a chine collé process, I have created smaller, etching, relief and monotype prints on washi (fine handmade Japanese papers), re-worked the images numerous times and then assembled them into larger compositions. The main piece, is to be viewed as a scroll sweeping horizontally across the length of the gallery, allowing the eye to wander the interwoven lines and symbols of cartography and plant-based imagery that evoke a continuous journey of growth, exploration and culmination.
