The works included in this body are titled In the Shadow of the Mountain Completed in early 2015, these pieces include images drawn from the landscape of northwest Oregon, and are printed with relief and pochoir on yamagampi and silk gampi tissues. While researching this imagery I was considering the writings of Annie Dillard, Tom Sleigh and Fernando Pessoa-dwelling in the visual poetry of the land. I'm interested in pulling color from the landscape but changing impact of the elements by intensifying the palette observed in life. I'm manipulating scale and hierarchy of elements to mimic the ways I have experienced tree boughs, mountain and hillside silhouettes and meandering vegetation-through close observation and by long vistas.
