I have a particular fondness for woodblock prints made using Japanese techniques, that is, hand-printed with watercolors. The colors brushed onto the surface of the wood subtly permeate its fibers, and my whole being witnesses a kind of sensual fusion of color with the wood itself before the actual printing. The prints obtained by superimposing repeated impressions carry within them the transparency associated with the scent of a delicate flower.
My prints in the iris flower series transcribe the ideal flower from the secret of its blossoming to its fading away.
