On my trip to Australia in May, I visited Uluru (Ayers Rock). There were a number of small caves around the periphery of the rock that one could peer into - and see the cave drawings.
When I returned to my studio, I wanted to capture the essence of the colors and shapes and the markings on the wall. The symbols of spirals, concentric circles, and images from nature have been a part of my artistic vocabulary for years and it is always exciting to see them in another part of the world.
None of these prints are a direct copy of the walls I had the honor to witness. On the contrary, the cave drawings served as inspiration. I wanted to honor this ancient language of an ancient culture - to infuse my prints with the wonder, spirit and mystery that I felt there.
