I selected a few pieces, which I want to show you here, and maybe some of these will make it into the show, depending on how they fit. They all involve handmade paper, often my own, or mulberry, and drawing and printmaking, taking words off the internet, an early foray into that as raw material, with the permission of the friend whose journal entries these are, though I broke the words and generally corroded the firmness of the font, to convey my own notions. One is reverse painted on the framing glass, as well as being a mixed media piece.

ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful pieces, Liz!
ReplyDeleteWishing I were able to attend the showing and chew on them in person.
Lovely work, Liz. I echo Maj's wishes, and will come back to have another look at these pieces.
