This is my longest and narrowest completed piece yet, 13 by 24 inches. It's an embrace of the perpetual song, the orchestra of motion, we touch and feel every day.
One of my favorite woodcut artists is Munakata Shiko. His large pieces with beautiful titles (like "In Praise of Flower Hunting" and "Cherry Blossoms in Mist") are bold and unfathomly gentle black and white prints, reaching deep into the spirit. From Munakata directly, "The life of a woodblock print, in which I have placed my far-reaching spiritual belief, does not come from the life of the board itself; it is the mystery created through a single point and a single line."
Thank you for visiting and have a great week!

I adore black and white - and you've created such movement in this piece. It's wonderful!
Love the contrast!
This is a really beautiful piece!
Nicola, I love the expression on her face. This piece is so joyful. (I also LOVE Munakata Shiko- he is a true master. So expressive. I went to one of his shows in New York and it was amazing!)-vivian
