Another experiment in printmaking. This was featured in Women's Way magazine, a regional publication by Dakini Lynn Marlowe in Boulder. Drawing the woman's figure, I was thinking about kundalini energy rising up like a serpent, from where it lies coiled and latent, at the base of the spine. When this print was complete, I recognized that it had an ambiguous posture. You can view the woman as sheltering herself from some source of light above her head, or she can be perceived as rising up and breaking out of imprisonment. During that block-printing period, these ubiquitous birds appeared on everything I made. They represent freedom, movement, thought and imagination.
