“EMIGRACIÓN” (2006)
Oil-based inks on paper, linocut and stencil
25” X 33”
I saw a photo of four figures returning home from the Chinese urban worksites to their rural homes on the frozen river pathway. It occurred to me that the reflections seen on the ice and the mirage on the sands are the same. Immigrants returning home on a frozen river or desert sands, the struggle is the same.

“MURMURATION”
Oil-based inks, Linocut, printed on handmade Japanese paper, acrylic framed with chrome clips.

Birds in murmuration are breathtaking. It is a challenge to capture their unpredictable motion and individual precision. This stimulates my memory of the flocks of birds in flight in Humboldt County, California.
