In 1993 I moved into a new studio adjacent to one of Long Island's largest and most beautiful vineyards. As the seasons changed, so did the vineyard. Over the years, I spent a great deal of time in the long rows of Merlot, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc. I learned where the soil was especially sandy and produced berries that were small and concentrated. I had the opportunity to watch the new vines being planted, maturing, and eventually yielding their first vintage. I picked the grapes, watched them being pressed, and tasted the wines from the French oak barrels. The ocean light, as it passes through the slightly rolling terroir, has become a huge influencing factor in my work. This portfolio documents changes in the vineyard over the course of the year and attempts to capture a little of the romance of this special place. Each print is built from hand painted and hand printed panels, printed and collaged by the artist. Printed impressions were executed on the etching press at Deepwater Editions, Sag Harbor, New York. Additional silkscreen impressions were printed in the artist's studio. AU painted panels were over-printed with transparent varnish to seal the colors and protect the print. Substrate papers for all works in the folio are Arches cover weight. Collage elements include: papers made by the artist, kozo paper with mango leaf inclusions, kozo paper with banana bark inclusions, kozo with grass inclusions, and Japanese Suzuki paper. |
