‘Echos of Familiarity’ is a relief print I completed using a jigsaw printing method. I carved everything on one connected block and then used a razor to separate the block into 4 sections that could all be inked up individually. It’s of an imagined place. A composition of found images and what my brain assumes of mountains. I typically only carve places of great importance to my own narrative. The moments I’ve been able to see, hold, and turn over during the day to day of my own life. But I can’t be everywhere at once, and some journeys are yet to come. That shouldn’t stop me from creating moments for others to resonate with. To get lost in a memory is to rob time, to reminisce in a feeling and view it all in a dewy haze. Sometimes you remember in fragments, only portions of a moment coming through here and there. And other times, you remember it all at once-spread out to be observed and picked apart for what it was or wasn’t. I hope the echoes that transcend space and time, surpassing a linear narrative in this print, provide you a sense of familiarity and warmth. Another place for you to call home.

I tear down paper to create my prints. The paper size measurement may vary slightly from print to print. Be sure to measure your print upon receiving it in order to get the best size frame to protect your artwork. I also recommend purchasing a mat for your frame to create a clean design in addition to protecting the print long term! Over many years the relief ink used will slowly release a very small amount of gas. Meaning, the print benefits from having space between the artwork and the frame's glass!
