From a series of multicoloured woodcut monotype prints, Impressions of 'TO THE LIGHTHOUSE', by Virginia Woolf. Back in the 1980s I studied the life and work of Virginia Woolf which resulted in my creating about 25 different impressions of the novel. The multi-layering of colours and images was inspired by the rhythmic and poetic style of Woolf's prose recalling memories of family summers spent in St. Ive's, Cornwall, in Great Britain. It was her plan, also, for the reader to be aware of the sound of the waves throughout the novel.
You've captured the dream-like sensation of memory in this one. Scenes are remembered, but never with clarity. I like the impression of half-remembered figures seen through a sea-mist.

ReplyDeleteWATERY SATISFACTION
Puddles of water and drops of dew—
What does it take to satisfy you?
A rushing river, a roiling sea—
That’s what it takes to satisfy me!
