Cut paper monoprints

Here are some process pictures from a recent series of surf-inspired monoprints:

A piece of a paper-cut plate used for inking the sky in "on bended knee"

cut paper plates for "soaring"

testing a paper-cut plate for "on bended knee"

"on bended knee" finished monoprint with ink and pencil, by Corinna Luyken

lessons in foam and light

 Everything on the earth bristled, the bramble
pricked and the green thread
nibbled away, the petal fell, falling
until the only flower was the falling itself.
 Water is another matter,
has no direction but its own bright grace,
runs through all imaginable colors,
takes limpid lessons
from stone,
and in those functionings plays out
the unrealized ambitions of the foam. 

-'Water' by Pablo Neruda

 

morning session

Here are some new surf images I've been working on, monoprints and watercolors. I sent them off to the printer yesterday and will have cards soon.  Prints and cards are available through my etsy shop.
