How can we be focused on ourselves as the world seems to be changing so dramatically? When I started with this work, I solely worked with a tiny drypoint of a bent figure, searching for something. I turned this print into a woodcut. I was planning on printing her over and over again, like a pattern. A person who is withdrawn within herself, not in touch with a world that is changing. Unawareness. Are they allowed to? Am I allowed to? Are you?

Yet, along the way the work evolved to add a contemplative person. They too reflect on the world. Are they so different? At times, both cross paths. Sometimes they build up a house, or a wall. They move forward, searching, contemplating, building. It is all in movement.
