Walled Gardens
Trace monotype, printed with soy-based ink on paper. 25.5 x 18 inches. 2022
A trace monotype print depicts an imaginary space—a courtyard garden surrounded by columns and arches, a potted plant, a set of stairs, crumbling fragments of wall, carved marble in the shape of hands and feet, rough organic shapes filled with natural textures. The image is composed of roughly drawn lines, similar to a child’s crayon scrawl and various shades of grey, grainy texture that comes from the ink settling into the peaks and valleys of the paper’s rough tooth.
