Tribute

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.

Cascading fragmented patterns, gestural marks and assorted textures are part of my visual vocabulary to capture an internal and somatic landscape of our experiences. 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.
