Artist CommentaryLabel
The image started as an oil painting of a willow thicket, and as I painted the branches wrapping around each other, I began to think of making a series of etchings that would convey the tangles of the underbrush using aquatint and intaglio. I had begun stitching on etchings inspired by Japanese shashiko, and this combination inspired my etching quilt. Label Type
