I began carving this print last month on gomuban, a Japanese carving material that’s like a synthetic rubber, similar to linoleum but smoother and a little easier to carve. It began as lines and shapes of movement and developed into an expression of love of plants and flowers. I had recently been to Le Jardin Botanique in Montreal and I’ve been walking around Toronto, admiring flowers and trees this spring and summer. Some of those experiences plus my love of the house plants I live with came out in this print. It went through some changes with my adding lines to the first proof I made. Yesterday I printed another proof and am happy with it. There’s a lot going on in it and I didn’t know if the print would look chaotic. But, to me, it seems energetic as opposed to chaotic. Soon I’ll print it on Japanese paper.

It is not chaotic, the very first word that came to my mind was dynamic… there is energy in it, the curves, I like it!
Dynamic—that’s great. Thank you very much.
I’m with François in sensing energy rather than chaos in your design. And what’s not to like about an S-curve?
Thanks!
Excellent work.
Thank you.
