Evolution of Design 7: Spring High-rise

Clockwise: a) Black and white photograph looking up at tree and high-rise,
b) Blockprint rendition, c) Series of blockprints on paper, d) Screenprint on dark cloth, e) Screenprint on light cloth


This project started with a series of photographs of surrounding high-rises and rooftops. As I looked up, I began to notice the electric wires. The wires became a secondary focus, somehow linking (perhaps through magnetic forces) the buildings with each other and with the sky. I went through the seasons taking pictures of trees:  fall's glittering leaves, winter's intricate yet bare branches, summer's lush foliage, and spring flowers. Electric wires wove through most of the photos.
