I connect with my roots through printmaking lithography stones are the stones made of rocks where I grew up resting my cheeks
Covering cradling the streams
It is like love making
Like cradling a surface a body an essence in its weight
Sweating during the process of graining getting closer to the depth working down and up to the softness of a surface calling to be tasted by textures of dry and wet hues and shapes
Landscapes, environmens and presences calling to be discovered in the visualization of what one perceives in the purity of a material
It is magical
Tender
Labour some
Energy absorbing
And mystical in the creation of something beautiful
Where the essence can be felt of the process the endurance the sensations and possible moments undergone in in the experience of creating the image wanting to be shared
