Relief Woodcut on Unbleached Mulberry, 8.5cm x 23cm.

This piece portrays mountainous terrain and a pine tree. Early in the morning the light barely touches the forground, the tall pine sits still in the cool darkness that still envelops most of the land. In this moment the air is still but fresh, and the viewer is invited to imagine themselves in this moment.

Relief Woodcut on Unbleached Mulberry, 23cm x 8.5cm.

This print is an interpretation of the path to discovery. The tree is singular and stands out against a blurred forest; A dark cloud hangs in the sky; Sunlight breaking through the dense fog. These symbols represent the self, our memories, and a way navigate through them.

Memories on I-80
Memories on I-80

Relief Woodcut on Bleached Mulberry, 23cm x 8.5cm. 

Here the viewer is shown a view of a highway as if standing on the dividing lines. The artist has traveled to the Midwest many times. The landscape is a breakdown of the imagery the artist recalls from his long drives on I-80. Symbols like the mountains, the clouds, the field all fade into the center of the image, leaving the viewer on a path going forwards.

Formosa Highway One
Formosa Highway One

Relief Woodcut on Unbleached Mulberry, 23cm x 8.5cm.

This piece is depicted as if from the edge of a highway, overlooking the lush flora that grows on it's shoulders. Overarching clouds reveal the sun's light just barely penetrating through the surface of the dark clouds just over the horizon. The leaves of the tree and other flora in the forground quiver as wind from an oncoming storm rushes through them.

Valley : Birch & Marsh
Valley : Birch & Marsh

Relief Woodcut on Unbleached Mulberry, 8.5cm x 23cm.

Here the artist created a scene of two birch trees sitting at the edge of a swamp. Tall reeds and broad leafed plants lead into a pattern of marsh grasses, which carry into the background. The foreground remains in shadow, the canopy of the trees catching most of the light coming through the clear sky.

Relief Woodcut on Bleached Mulberry, 23cm x 8.5cm.

This image illustrates light captured in a 'still moment.' The light is represented as a ring distorted around a central black mass. The viewer is also able to see the natural plate-tone which mimics waves and other distortions in the background that affect an image at this scale.

Relief Woodcut on Unbleached Mulberry, 23cm x 8.5cm.

This image is a contrast to the piece "Photo-Photo" In this light is caught in a 'still' moment, allowing it to be observed. This 'negative' interpretation highlights the distortions of the background field and defines the space the light inhabits. Inside that space we can see the tremulous action of light, radiating in every direction.

Evergreen Thicket : Gusty Weather

Relief Woodcut on Unbleached Mulberry, 23cm x 8.5cm.

This work is reminicent of the travel to and from Boston Massachusetts. The artist spent much of the year pre-production traveling there for his recovery. This print shows a summary of objects that made up that scenery. The clouds in the background repeat, echoing the trips the artist took and an oasis of evergreens springs up in the middle of a marsh, which is full of grass and cattails.

Backwoods Window
Backwoods Window

Relief Woodcut on Unbleached Mulberry, 8.5cm x 23cm.

Here the viewer finds themselves overlooking a mountain through a view in the trees. We can see the trunks and branches of the trees spiraling together like a web. The flora on the forest floor press right up to the viewer, keeping them from the edge of the cliff that falls off just beyond the trees in the foreground.

Shoreline Barricade
Shoreline Barricade

Relief Woodcut on Bleached Mulberry, 23cm x 8.5cm.

Drawing on memories of his expereinces at the ocean the artist created this print of the dunes just before the shoreline. Tall beach grass grows over itself and comes to an edge, lining a path that leads to the shore. Just beyond the dune we can see the shore and the ocean who's near still waters are inky compared to the clear sky above.

Relief Woodcut on Bleached Mulberry, 23cm x 8.5cm.

This image reveals crepuscular rays bearing out from the top of the image and pressing into the ground. As the title suggests the viewer is looking at an image that has been 'stretched' beyond the normal 180 degree field of view. The sky seems to spin, the clouds becoming visually distorted as they stretch with the rest of the piece.

White Mountain Cockcrow
White Mountain Cockcrow

Relief Woodcut on Bleached Mulberry, 23cm x 8.5cm.

This print portrays a forest of pine beneath two mountains. The forground and background are barely illuminated underneath the shadows of the mountains. The sky is bright and whispy clouds swim through it as the morning winds push them westward along the horizon.

Formosan View
Formosan View

Relief Woodcut on Bleached Mulberry, 8.5cm x 23cm.

This work shows a congested view of mountaintops beyond the edge of a city. The buildings are tall and reflective; windows and balconies overlook the narrow streets beneath them. Here the sun shining through the clouds is a metaphor for memory as the artist looks back on the time he lived in Taiwan. The symbols offer interpretations of the time the artist spent there and they are joined together to form the landscape.

Relief Woodcut on Bleached Mulberry, 9.5cm x 7cm.

This image illustrates the sun as it falls behind a cloud, setting in the West. The viewer can see the clouds pressing towards them in a northerly direction; one cloud diffuses the suns light. This dim light just illuminates the landscape for the viewer.
