Join me at Momentum Gallery in downtown Asheville Sunday February 11th from 2-4 pm. I’ll be talking about my work as well as demonstrating my carving and printing processes. After that I’ll be inviting those who would like to attempt the printing process to come and give it a go.
When the image for this print came, for some reason I saw the rabbit as a leader of sorts—as a character others wanted to be or follow—a character that seemed to know something that I did not. But as I was making the print the rabbit didn’t seem the sort to want or need anyone to follow him so the question became what the rabbit knew and why the leaves were following him. At the same time I knew the rabbit was having a conversation with a pair of otters and I was curious about the content of their conversation…
