These works spring from an intimate embodied experience of knowing and touching Canadian Stone. They are large 40 x 52 inch layered images on paper beginning with lithographs or relief prints from Niagara Escarpment limestone and drawings of Canadian Shield precambrian rock. She has added to these prints: photo documentation of her outdoor works and interventions, texts familiar and invented, sketchbook studies, records of her travels from the escarpment to the shield and back and a suggestion of satellite touches from above as they orbit over the vast geography of the Canadian landscape.
