The Series “Wind In Flight” was done on zinc a plate. The coloured was applied with a rainbow roll.
I played with cut out shapes and pieces of lace. The same plate was printed several times in different directions. 

For me “Wind In Flight” is a bout life. I believe that we sail through its passages too swiftly. It is wonderful when one can overcome the bitter and savour the sweet. I am thankful for the precious gift of being.
 

The concept "Twirl And Dance” came about as I was walking on the beach and saw this gorgeous slab of stone being polished by the waves. I was touched by its sheen and lines. On a zinc plate I applied my colours with small rollers and paint brush. For the small lines I used sewing thread. The plate was then printed on arch paper. This series is about how we twirl and dance through the avenues of life; how we all touch each other and how we intertwine together.
