"Until recently my monotypes have included figures and objects in imagined landscapes and still-lives, filled with a melange of iconography from the ancient past. Derived from many historical sources, I arranged these images into a context that at once felt rhythmic and surreal. In my earlier work, I often used the female figure and references to her throughout most of my prints. Drawing on a myriad of female forms, welcoming the fact that these earlier feminine icons have cross-cultural significance, often appearing as popular design motifs, these images served as a shared shorthand for the interrelationship of all things. I felt that through these types of images, I was expressing my feelings about the continuum of the human experience and its connection to the present.
