Description of the Woodcut Printmaking Process:

Rendering the colorful canyons and features of Zion in black and white is a bit of a challenge. This unique interpretation requires simplification and was accomplished by drawing the view then drawing from the drawing with brush and ink and then redrawing using that drawing as reference, and continuing this process until I arrived at a drawing which retained a sense of place and still held a pleasing sense of design. Reversing the drawing and transferring to the cherry wood block preceded the carving and proofing process. Finally, pulling an edition of prints on French made Rives paper.

Artist Statement:

I would hope one would take away another perspective of how to look at Zion and begin to notice the stark contrasts and ruggedness of the canyon. An appreciation for woodcut printmaking would also be a plus.
