Rebirth of Water, 1984

Description: A magnificent large Print by the artist Solid, pure blacks are blended with finely textured grays and some metallic gold. Large full moons often dominate the prints, with rocket like golden thrusts piercing them in bold curves. Wavelike patterns... sometimes bisect the circles. Sprinklings of powdered mica over the white areas give the impression of windblown sand. In the absence of brilliant colors, form and texture are strongly evident.'
