2018, Monotype with watercolor, graphite, collage on synthetic non-woven paper, 19.24 x 16.5 “, framed with white mat and black laquer frame. Framed size: 20.5 x 17.75 “.
What began with a return to printmaking as a centering prayer, these flowing mixed media works are a beloved tribute to my mother following her death in 2018. The title comes from a poem I wrote in memory of her. The netting offers tribute to my history of growing up in a millinery family surrounded by dramatic hats and accessories with veils and trimmings and signifies what we collect, filter and hold. The layered textures and patterns unfurl as a tribute: an intention to excavate grace and beauty in our ephemeral lives.
