silverpoint on paper
4 x 7 x .5″
Winter’s cold clarity of light echoes silverpoint’s play of light from metal particles, as in a scene of the skyline silhouettes of sentinel trees I drew in chilly Brittany, as I huddled in my car. In the Blue Mountains, a dead pine tree epitomized the wintertime quiet of death, hibernation or new life forming. Frozen realities also use winter symbolically. The genesis of Frozen in Time (Japan) was a photograph my grandfather took in 1924 Japan, a country shocked and reeling after the Great Kanto Earthquake: a photographic record of time frozen, a landscape long forgotten and changed, yet to me utterly poignant and eloquent.
