In this bookwork, the format and paper itself create the landscape of undulating hills and valleys. The printed images interact with the watermarks, both layers flow throughout the spaces, overlapping, making edges, and saturating with color or luminous white. Paper and print are meant to intrigue with shadows and illusions. Collaboration with Helen Hiebert, papermaker.
