Artist Commentary

Label

Polymer plates, Carved Linoleum, College, and Drawing on Fabriano Paper All three accordion style books are Printed, Stitched and then Burned in selective places into Fabriano Paper. My methods and techniques emulate and reflect directly the effects of climate change on our world and how the Earth is coping with this crisis. They are our homes, our land, and most of all the fabric of our families and communities that are burning and flooding.

Polymer Plate Intaglio Etchings flow easily about the paper both in front and back. Holes are burned into the paper. Stitching with waxed rust colored threading support the structure of the book. Collage, drawing, and a poem are scrawled into the polymer plate.
