Roses and Lillies II
Bought these flowers and wanted to do a series of flowers, however I keep having a problem with time. I need schedule 2-3 days in a row to study the flowers before they changed shape while dying.
There is a Roses and Lillies III some where in my archives, however that will take some time to find, so much paper to sort through then scan or photograph then upload to the web, but as always I would much rather make new work :)

Service Men
The original image was from a historic LILAC photo of sailors in the 1960"s, but after it was printed it could be perceived as police officers. Either way you look at it has that service men kind of look.
Vintage Sailboats Central Park
Vintage Sailboats Central Park, Monotypes, 6"x6"
I have a book on the history of Central Park and found this image of sailboats. I thought it would have been a lot of fun to play with such large "play" boats. I made a monoprint of the top image then printed its ghost. Printing a ghost means I took one print and what ink was left on the plate made the second print. I like both. The image is 6"x6" but the paper size is 6"x10". The image on the entire paper gives enough space for the image to breathe.

Strangers on the shore Pablo Neruda
Strangers on the Shore, Pablo Neruda
I printed, worked, volunteered at Studio 889 for two years. During that time the printmakers made a book of images inspiried by Pablo Neruda's poem Strangers on the Shore. I remember us leafing through his poems and came across this one. This was my favorite line in that poem which struck a chord with the others. So that is how we chose to make a book inspiried by this particular poem.
