The Four Seasons (series) 1999 - 2001
Winter 2
Oil based ink on rice paper
8' x 4'
Variation #2 of "Winter" design.
Multi panel woodcut relief print in combination with monotype.
Playing with very controlled Japanese relief print design aesthetics vs. free hand aesthetics made possible by monotype process. Heavy layering of ink in both plain and textured areas for further exploration of the push and pull effect and, illusion of mass and void.
