Performance piece and print series

I have continued with another print for this week. I am hoping to make a few more possibly nine in total. I am continuing to make them two dimensional and may cut them up later. 

Due to the flatter nature of these pieces and wanting to still incorporate coppe into them I have been adding some copper leaf to each piece. This print was creating in a similar process to the last, a series of overlaying prints, at this point around twenty, and a combination of monotyping and block printing onto pieces of wood panel to continue my aesthetic of wood, carving, stain, and various colors. 

Through this repetitive process of printing I have found that a clearer image and idea eventually reveals itself in the layering. A note to the cyclical nature of experience and an accumulation with amounts to clearer realizations of meaning. 

Here is the still in progress newest one:


This piece resembles the stucco walls that my siblings and I would have to stare at for prolonged periods of time, and the copper and various colors highlight areas to display beginning to find images in the forms on the surface. On this piece, as with the others, I encourage viewers to find imagery in a periadollic surface. 

Continuing it's thoughts for my performance piece, I am worried that due to a current foot injury I will not be able to stand on my feet for a prolonged period of time during it. If this continues to be the case I will create or use a table top for the performance.
