Shrine

 

Mixed media monotype mounted on board

This monotype is from the “characters” series .  It was conceived as a shrine to the ancestors, and includes fish bones to suggest the fact that we all originally came from the sea.  The central section is cut into the board and has an overlay of translucent rice paper.

Ancestors

These are invented characters based on ancient Chinese pictographs.  The central quadrant has a translucent overlay to suggest a greater distance in time from these figures.
