Understory

Understory layers an ecosystem of printed washi remains from the history of my print process into new narratives exploring place, memory, and the passage of time. Completed over the summer and fall of 2026, the work focuses on repeated experiences of changing light and progression of plant recognitions in daily walks between the field and the forest near my home. Traces of handmade vessels underscore this as a long inhabited place. Like an anthology in literature, a partita in music, or a book in the commonplace tradition, collected litho, drypoint, and relief elements piece together memory of other times and places while providing context for new observations and familiar but always wondrous recognitions.
