This block print was done from October-December 2008.
I made a few “thumbnails” and this was the favorite one of my children. I also did a snowflake, a steeple made of hand called “Made by Hand”, and a suspicious chariot that looked like a sleigh.
The name I morphed from a children’s song and it seemed to fit the theme of the picture, a dance of four individuals doing their own thing, together.
The figures embodies grace, focus, and an inner wisdom and these were the guiding principals of the piece. The high contrast of this style is appealing for seeing silhouets and the beauty of simplicity. Inspired by Celtic artwork, the fun of interweaving complexities is uplifting.
