Wood engraving
8.3’’ x 7.6”
Of a series for RESCUED BEASTIARY: works honoring Sean Casey Animal Rescue.
The interplay of light and shadow is central to my process. Darkness amplifies the forms as they emerge into the light by their contrast. I gravitated toward relief printing. Its engravings or cuts are the light pulling them out from the background. I’m also drawn to its physicality; the tension of the carving against the medium. All of it plays to the expression of the stroke. I also focus on narrative. Portraits, whether of people or animals, are visual stories that capture the emotional depth of untold experiences. Recently, I’ve been exploring roots and various fauna. I look for the strange way life has evolved and forced itself into forms that are almost abstract.
