monotypes 
My newest monotype is titled "Traveller's Window IV. The deep midnight / aubergine background was printed from two blocks of wood, one inked in black, the other in magenta; the two colour layers creating a deeper sense of space. The flickering light elements in the background are the grain of the wood block and some tiny marks etched into the wood block by insects. I overlaid the space with forms printed in pale yellow, aqua, mid-green, orange and rose. And yes, there is a Traveller's Window II and III...they're in Toronto, on display at the Toronto International Art Fair, but if you're in Vancouver, you can stop by for a visit and see "IV" at my studio. And, from January 3 - February 3, 2013, it's installed in a show on safe studio practise "non toxic" printmaking, at Dundarave Print Workshop, 1640 Johnson Street, on Granville Island (Vancouver).
