Product Information

My work has always involved juxtaposition of text with image. I studied classical European and Asian lettering seriously for many years before I began working as a printmaker in 1990. Initially, poetry inspired my images, and lately I have found that I work in the opposite direction – I start with an image that interests me and then sometimes find or write a text to relate to it – often simply a question or a haiku poem. Incorporating text into visual images can give a second dimension to the experience of the artwork, because of the content as well as the visual power of written forms themselves.
