Rocks
Rocks – Chevron, Sphere, Wave and Shell
Working again from the Rocks and Minerals at the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), I chose to work with relief woodcut in shades of teal and turquoise found on many varieties of rocks in the ROM’s collection. These simplified and abstracted shapes are free-form cut into plywood to create irregular shaped prints, emphasising their objectness. The natural woodgrain in the relief prints echoes the movement within the rocks.
