Chair Series

At the end of each year, I review the work I've made. This past year, one of the highlights was the residency at the AnnMarie Sculpture Garden in Solomons, MD. Here are some of the small prints I did at the residency, inspired by the two decorated Mardi Gras chairs that are in the main public area of the museum. I had fun drawing these chairs. When I go through my art over the years, I find I've drawn many chairs. You might call it a series!
This is a trace monotype, placed into a small handmade book.

This monotype was made starting with roll-up of black ink, then subtracting by wiping away ink to get the white areas.

The Mardi Gras chairs were decorated with large "jewels" -- a silver chair on the left and a gold chair on the right.
