Roots of the Earth
Roots of the Earth by Amy Crook
This particular monoprint came about when I was playing one day with the viscosity of the water-based inks, trying to see what random elements I could get. The fractal pattern in the bright, vibrant green made me think of trees and green life growing, up into the sky and down into the deep dark earth.
I must have made dozens of these prints, but only kept a few in the long run that I liked, the rest going into the recycling bin, or never even making it off the plate and onto the paper. I think this one was actually made by mixing up the color, then smushing the mixed ink between two plates and pulling them apart to see what happened. I don’t think I ever printed the other side of this one, though, so it’s one of a kind.
Roots of the Earth, 3″x3″, monoprint on watercolor paper, $299 with free shipping.
This print is on thick watercolor paper, but isn’t really suitable for display as is. I’m happy to matte or frame it for you for a wee little fee.
