Silent Messengers: Writing-on-Stone I
archival inkjet and collagraph
76.2 x 50.6 cm.
As reorganization in the studio continues, I realize I also need to do some here on the blog. With the redesign at the end of January, I lost the gallery/slide show (though some stray links to it here and there seem to work and bring it up on the old site). I am eagerly anticipating a replacement whenever my too-busy-with-work family members can manage it.
In the meantime, when revisiting some of my Silent Messengers: Writing-on-Stone series here, I noticed only Writing-on-Stone III appears along with the announcement for the “gallery” and the others are only viewable in the latter.
So I am placing them right on the main blog where the links will find them directly. I hope you will enjoy revisiting them or, if new here, viewing them for the first time as they are works from 2007 (seems like almost yesterday!). Above is the first one, and below is the second in the series. Numbers four and five will be posted later.
Here is some background information about Writing on Stone Park in Alberta and our visit there which inspired these works.

Please visit my post about the making of the trial proofs for Writing-on-Stone I.
UPDATE: Please view also Writing-on-Stone IV and V
UPDATE 2, much later: The new GALLERY is up (see link on the top left here) and the works may now be viewed there under their series name, though not all the work has been uploaded yet – another work in progress.

These don’t look familiar to me, I must have missed them before. I like them very much.
Also really impressed with your old life-drawings, a slightly different angle on your talents, though still recognisably your hand, beautiful.
Oh, had to go back and look at the stones again, too.
These pieces seem very “you” and interesting. Hope you’ll say more about them.
Also, don’t forget to link up to your maquette at Clive’s Artlog. It was instantly recognizable as yours, of course!
Lucy, then I’m glad I’ve reposted these pieces so you could have a look. And I’m glad you like my life drawings as well – a different ‘angle’, but a foundation for all my artmaking.
Marly, you are always so supportive of my efforts, thank you! Did you check out my links on the place, Writing on Stone Park, which was the source of the rock photos in this series, hence the title as well?
Yes, I need to do a post on ‘maquettes’ sometime between many other things today. Clive’s exhibition is fantastic, isn’t it?
Yes, what a fascinating stone-scape!
And the show is wonderful. Such variety and surprise…
