The Story in Roots and Rocks
This project consists of 11 mixed-media pieces on paper, mounted on 9 x12 in. cradled panels. Incorporating experimental printmaking and water-based materials, I am departing from my usual use of encaustic media.
Photographs used in these abstract works are from Cave Point Park, a place of high limestone cliffs along the shore of Lake Michigan. The trees’ roots cling to the rocks, keeping them stable against the elements- a lesson in strength and endurance. The rocks show marks from past glaciers and exposure to the cycle of the seasons. I approach this work from the perspective of risk taking, following my intuition in a multi-step process. I honor my persistence as an artist, exploring my creativity in a new way. I intend for the work to echo the lessons of exploration, intuition, survival and persistence.
