Covid-19 has changed all our lives. I am thankful that I have remained well, but long to return to normal activities like visiting with friends and family, and travelling for art and pleasure.
While self-isolating in Port Hope I have been working in my studio daily. In 2020 I produced Other Echoes, a collection of works on paper examining home and memory.
Early in 2021 I completed the Canadian part of The Tangled Garden a large, long-term garden wall project. Hopefully in the future I will have the opportunity to travel and develop the imagined two remaining walls.
My annual summer canoe trip with the other artists of the Gibson Girls, was cancelled and our exhibition in Vilnius, Lithuania was postponed until 2022. The mail art exchange project we were to exhibit, Where I'm at Now: A Conversation in Art has continued and provided some solace and connection. Go to our newly launched website gibsongirlsart.com to see the growing collection of collaborative postcards created by the group. Follow our activities and the project on instagram @5gibsongirls.

Garden Cycle
This collection of small monoprints evokes the cycle of change in my Mexican garden. Referencing six common plants, I reworked copper plate drypoints as blossoms curled and shrank over time. Variations in coloured relief spots echo not only the flowers’ original hues, but their changing tones and the brilliant cycle of light throughout the day.
Printed in my studio in Oaxaca Mexico in 2018, Garden Cycle continues my interest in how we recognize aspects of the natural world despite its ephemerality. The final collection of prints presents not perfect botanical specimens, but these holotypes in time, when details of form are obscured and memory of colour and light predominate.
Garden Cycle 19x19cm, drypoint and relief $50.each
