Shed, as in to shed tears, or one’s antlers. Sometime the act of shedding tears feels as natural and needed as shedding antlers, a yearly event for the Cervidae Family (Elk, Deer, Moose). When I cry, I purge, allowing emotions to escape as well as salt water from my eyes, and I benefit from the purge in that I am ready to be thankful for what I have, to carry on, to fly and soar above.

This piece is a "relief engraving.” It is in the block print or relief family of printmaking, which refers to two surfaces, one lower than the other, so that the highest surface prints. I hand carve each image with small but tough tools called burins, or gravers. The remaining surface is rolled with ink and pressed through the printing press. Each print taken from the plate is part of an edition, and numbered. My limited editions are always under 100 since they are inked and cranked by hand on my printing press. Printed on 100% Cotton Rag Paper.
