The inspiration for these three prints is based on the idea that change is the only constant. It is how we flow with or against change that makes all the difference. Creating this piece was an organic process, much different than that of a very planned serigraph print. This tryptic challenges the idea that prints have to be just prints as I, with much struggle, cut into the print incorporating weaving with printing.

Change is Constant
2016
Serigraph on Mylar and silk
On loan from the artist

This piece is inspired by the concept that the only constant in life is change. Perhaps it is how we allow change to happen that makes all the difference. As we move through our lives and grow from one stage to another we experience great changes. Each individual person experiences change in their own way.

The idea is to accept change much like water does. Water shifts and changes as it flows and moves through space. We can choose to flow with change or try to resist it; however, the constant ebb and flow of change will wear down any surface. If you turn this image on the side you will see a wave design. I chose to depict water because water is a great teacher for accepting and adapting to change. Not resisting change and embracing the one constant in life is what inspired this piece.
