Artist Commentary

Label

I am interested in the Natural world and wanted to interpret an interesting outcropping of granite rocks that I encountered on a hike in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I used various printing processes to create a wide range of values and textures in gray fabrics. Each piece of fabric was monoprinted multiple times using my hand-cut stencil designs and/or was printed using thermofax screens of my design.
