Sometimes I do lots of monoprint drawings in quick succession, which always takes me somewhere unexpected. This one is called ABUNDANCE & was the final one in such a series. For printing like this I ink up a board with oil paint with a roller, & lay a piece of paper over it, & draw mostly with my hands. When I peel the paper off, the image is the other way round, a mirror version. This figure is a goddess of abundance, with her 2 pairs of hands showering fruit & flowers, stars, birds & the moon.. I wasn't in a happy place at all when I started drawing, but doing a series without stopping to look or think much, allows change to come in, & this image was a joyful surprise at the end. Time to say thank you!
