statement:
I was in Scotland working at the Edinburgh Printmakers Workshop in the spring of 2010 during the Gulf Oil Spill, when it felt like the gusher couldn't be stopped and the oceans would become seas of oil. I began a series of etchings using photo references I brought with me from home. But within the context of the unfolding disaster on the other side of the Atlantic, those familiar pictures of my favorite swamp took on a completely new significance. I saw in the images a visible sense of reverberation - of something happening in one place and extending out from the source with far-reaching consequences. As I worked on these prints, I was thinking about a ripple effect of global proportions.
