Why Block Prints?
I have always been drawn to the graphic, textured, handmade style accomplished with block printmaking. During the pandemic I began experimenting with linoleum carving, and I fell in love. This medium marries my love for the analog, messy process of art making with my love for the bold, high contrast aesthetics of graphic design.
I Am With You ©2025 is inspired by Isaiah 41:5-10
In this image, I wanted the fig tree to look unremarkable, surrounded by the hands of the Gardener reaching down to lovingly massage the soil. The sleeves contain patterning of simplified visual references to everything a plant needs to not only survive, but to thrive. Starting close to the roots and moving upward, the patterns include water, air, sunlight, nutrients, and space. The emphasis in this image is on what is happening below the surface, in the depths of the dirt. The roots stretch toward the hands of the Gardener as the specks of dirt seem to also image the stars of the vast universe. Within us, despite what we produce, despite what can be seen at the surface, we contain multitudes. We bear the image of God, and our mere existence makes us worthy of Sabbath and the loving arms of the Gardener reaching out to provide us with everything we need.
