MISCELLANEOUS PRINTS

These etchings don't belong in any series, although most of them use figure-ground ambiguities to form shapes in the negative spaces.

"Bridgeheads" takes liberties with the forms of the Union Railway Bridge in Glasgow, Scotland to turn the negative spaces into helmeted soldiers. "Cloister" does the same for the shapes of the arches in the cloister at the Abbey of St. Trophime at Arles, to turn the negative spaces into nuns.

"Flight" and "Sunday Truants" are from a series of remembered stairways from the artist's childhood.

"Ancestry" plays with the idea of our genetic heritage, as in "she has her grampa's chin".

In "Snapdragon" the artist has formed a dragon out of a row of snapdragons.

In "Chiricahua" the artist has combined Cochise Head Mountain with the rock formations found in nearby Chiricahua National Monument in Southeastern Arizona.
