Traces I

In Blue Traces I, two eccentric geniuses, Leonardo da Vinci and Emily Dickinson speak over the centuries to each other and to us. Sketching, collecting, and preserving a future, they collide in my mind and on the canvas with their transformations of what is, into what has never been before. They reach with line and word towards the unreachable. They hover all around us. I find in ghostly Cyanotype a recovering of what has been lost:  the suggestion, more potent than the distinct, the shadow more revealing than the substance. - Margaret Watson
