Description

"What Joy to Come Falling" (2023) is a fully abstract woodblock composition in shades of indigo and pale blue-green, built from dense, sweeping vertical striations that fan diagonally across the sheet. Patches of unprinted cream paper break through the blue passages like scattered light, concentrated most heavily in the upper half, while the lower third darkens into a denser, near-solid band of overlapping strokes. There are no figures or discernible landscape elements; the print is signed and numbered in pencil below the image.
