"Shifting Perspective"

Collagraph monoprint, 10 x 22". When I play around with colors, I often mix or "dirty up" those colors to create a wide variety in each image. I've found myself often going to different shades of blue and orange for many prints, and blue, red and violet for several others. In this case (and in a minority of the others) I decided to play around with various shades of red and orange, partly because my sister and brother-in-law are fans of orange and I thought I would give this print to them. When I finished the print, I was especially drawn to the various arrow-like shapes that pop up throughout. These arrows and the overall composition cause me to look all around the print, sometimes with little time to stop and absorb the whole image. There is a great deal of detail to reflect on, and only from a distance do my eyes tend to find significant rest. As a result of this seemingly constant visual movement, I get the impression that I can see this print in countless ways. I also get the feeling that I can interpret the imagery in this print in countless ways. Keeping these ideas in mind, I decided that, as I look at this print, my perspective is constantly shifting; hence, the title.
