The Heart is a lonely hunter work-in-progress
step 2 on the way to the finished piece
I started out with a 22″ x 30″ piece of Rives BFK paper. Here you can see the birds, ferns and circles which were screenprinted. The blue sky was monoprinted at the Print Arts Northwest Monothon earlier this year. Other elements were drawn with india ink. You can see in the finished piece (see blog entry entitled: The Heart is a lonely hunter) that I cut the rooster and moved it to the other side & the swifts as well. Here is the poem I wrote for it:
The Heart is a lonely hunter
spooked so quickly
its quarry taking wing
while I sit in ambush . . . . . . . . . . waiting.

I really like this one - a lot of folks would have taken the heart and the poem and gone in a much darker direction. Instead, you made something that speaks with your own voice. Bravo!

so who is getting spooked and who is getting ambushed, or are we all playing both roles. well done
