Solar etching, framed
2.75” x 3”
I can't help but notice the parallels of much of my recent work to my own physical journey in life. As I enter into my eighth decade, I find myself evermore drawn to long shadows and fleeting light as inspiration for my printmaking. The softening luminosity and the deep, intangible shadows the sun creates as the earth tilts toward its wintering position. Abstract. Summarize. Pull. Excerpt. Elicit. Evoke. Draw out. Select. Educe. Cut. Cull. Glean. Express. Gather. Garner. Pluck. Separate. Extract. Extraction is a daily human habit of distilling images, sounds, tastes, conversations, emotions, experiences, into personal snippets of our existence. The overwhelming amount of stimulation we receive throughout our everyday reality and dream states is just too much to hold onto, so we intuitively break down information into moments and memories. My recent works are representative of such moments. They are summaries of my waking and imaginary perceptions. My singular extracts.
