Ascension, 2023

Reduction mokuhanga on Kizuki washi

Made from two reduced woodblocks with 20 layers of color

12.25 x 18.25 inches

“I close my eyes, try to envision,

Grand mountains rising from the hills

That cacophony of color 

A rainbow lit by early morning sun

Did I imagine it? 

staring so long in those well worn books

Masters long gone, different time different place

I am left with their images 

Impressed on my brain.”
