Growing Together
“Growing Together” print series communicate diverse interconnections between the humans and the environment. The hands in the midst, touching and shaping leaves symbolize dynamic ways in which we impact the world around us. The leaves surrounding and printed on hands as well as arranged to represent real and imaginary creatures symbolize how nature affects our emotional, physical, and social well-being.
The images of hands are created by running the ink through handmade serigraphic stencils. The impressions of leaves are unique mono prints of plants collected in urban parks. Merging printing techniques produces unpredictable results reflective of the complex human-nature interactions.
