ATLAS

This suite of prints reflects my response to distinct and resonant descriptions of the North American landscape chosen from the works of seven iconic authors. Great writers have always had the power to convey a sense of place through vivid and compelling narrative. As a reader, I have explored these places, both familiar and unknown, through the force and beauty of the writer’s words. As an artist, I have taken their words as a point of departure, a catalyst to a visual response. While the words evoke a detailed sensory awareness of a particular place, the images search for its essence through minimal forms that trace the geometry of the land.

Screenprint on Rives BFK, with related text letterpress printed on Japanese Mulberry and Rives BFK. The clamshell box is bookcloth and Hahnemuhle Ingres over bookboard.

Edition of 10.
