Artist Statement

I created the Rain, Wind, and Light trilogy as a metaphor for how linocuts are made, an ancient Japanese wood-carving technique, referred to as Ukiyo-e. In my metaphor, ‘Rain’ refers to rolling wet printing pigment over the raised areas of the carved medium (linoleum), ‘Wind’ to drying of the paper on which the composition was printed, and ‘Light’ to revealing the final artworks to the public. While the term Ukiyo-e translates to “pictures of the floating world,” in the case of Rain, Wind, and Light, one may talk about the images viewed while hovering over the Montana landscape. This creates a dual metaphor embedded in both the images and the linocut technique.
