Influence of Ink, Stone and Wood
- One image from the series, "A Season of Changes" welcomes you into this album. Other images from The "Seasons" series follow. A image called "Transformations" is inserted to introduce the notion of text and image entertwined, a continuing theme in much of my work. Two sumi ink drawings in this album were created in August '05 with the 60th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on my mind. A common characteristic of all the images in this album are the shared influence of Japanese art on my sumi ink drawings, watercolors and woodcuts. NOTE: The link at the top left of each photo album page will take you back to the weblog where you can select another photo album or another post.
Japan: Journey 2006
- These photos give a few glimpses of my 2006 visit to Japan. My visit to an artist's studio in Kyoto where indigo dying was taking place was one highlight of this journey.
Skylit Space
- Many visitors to my studio know the barn behind my house with its weather beaten brown shingles, mural of flying birds, and a stretch of scruffy grass, between house and barn. Since 2002 a second work space at the top of our house has been added. This space is the "Skylit Space" where watercolor, cut paper and other new work emerges. The rugged barn is not forsaken. It too is being updated with snug windows and new barn-red siding. Woodcuts, stencil paintings, etchings emerge from the barn aided by a large French American Tool press that is its centerpiece. NOTE: To leave this album and return to the weblog, click on the link in the grey bar at the top any photo album page. Once back at the weblog you can chose another "Album" or another "Post"
Studio Restored
- During the summers '06-'07 David Rubin lovingly restored this old barn. It was beautiful as a shingled structure but David has prolonged its life, given it a new sheen and made it weather tight so that my stored art work is safe.

Memories in Stone
Memories in Stone: Fissures: Four prints: 2012 Sumi ink on Slate, each 20" x 16", 2012
Congruence: Materials and Subject Matter
Time-worn roof slate is the material I chose to support images about memory, memory loss and imagination in a 2012 series of prints. Examples from this series are included in my 2013 exhibit, Progress of the Eclipse. Progress of the Eclipse These chipped and scuffed stone pieces represents the evolution of work which began with woodcuts in the 1990s. Use of weathered roof slates for this series arose out of an impulse similar to my use of braille printing plates to create an another work, Blind: Seeking Shelter, 1937. I was drawn in both cases to materials, (distressed slate in one instance and braille printing plates in the other), which became integral to a complex exploration of imagery and ideas. My work on the themes of immigration and disability continues. I plan to integrate fragments of music manuscripts, braille text and immigration documents into a new series of woodcut prints.
