Sailing

10″ x 18″, handmade paper

When I use my black ink pen (Micron or Staedtler) and thick handmade paper, I delve into an unconscious movement. I start with a feeling, a knowing that I need to create, and I move from there. I never know what will come from the image that I am creating. In this piece I see a a swan-like ship, or a ship-like swan carrying a cocooned crone birthing branches from her head and her heart. I see a rocket ship shooting out of a watching wave. I see movement, and boundaries.
