Fox
(5" x 7", 3-layer Woodcut)
Everything is wind.
Through the depiction of abstracted landscapes, I am using markers of place as clues to a journey. The meeting of land, sky, and water create a wandering and floating sensation, a journey across horizons. They create a path and a record of fixed positions along the way. But the journey is uncertain and the space is unknown. The presence and location of a destination are unsure, and that is exactly why the journey must continue – because of the possibilities of the unknown. Maps take us from the known to the unknown and are created through a combination of actually being in a place, memory of a place, and stories passed along. The portrayal of this imaginary, personal landscape is a record of my journey through it. It is a set of clues based on my mapping of the expedition.
