Ancients

Wood Engraving 2008
5" x 7"  Edition 60

Block:     Boxwood
Ink:        Umber oil-based
Paper:    Daphne light
Process: Standard engraving on boxwood round. I get these from Japan and they invariably have cracks and strange shapes that I have to play with.
Image:   A tribute to the Anazasi, the ancient dwellers of the desert who disappeared long ago without leaving much of a clue as to why. When hiking in the dwellings, there is always that feeling that someone is watching quietly, perhaps the ancients are still all around guarding their lands.
