paste & ink on Arches paper

42 x 108″

Quoddy I was created in the summer of 2022. I drove to downeast Lubec, Maine and over several days, I made ten “walk and draw” studies as I explored the trail there. There is a strong Japanese inspiration here in the simplified shapes. At the same time, in almost a cubist manner, I combine different views into one sweeping, overall view. The sunset in the back shows this shift of time and color. I also add Japanese kanji into the piece, to flatten the space and add eternal meanings. The ink is added after blending 20 layers of pastel.
