Description:
Printed with dark blue grey pigment on the peach-colored paper. A mist or snow shrouded three-quarter view of a stag walking through the snow leaving behind hoof prints. Its antlers sprout exaggerated, long lines that form the shape of tree branches. The background of the watercolor-like rendering reveals a starry nighttime sky and falling snow. One of twenty prints in the portfolio, “Traces,” inspired by the poem of the same title by Annie G. Rogers.

Label Text:
Artist's statement:
“My image arose in response to this line in the last stanza (or whatever they are) of the poem:
And in the deep woods the deer suspect (with the poets) that all we see or seem is here in this moment.
In earlier versions of the image I included more specific imagery among the trees that the deer carries, trying to suggest “all that we see or seem”. This evolved into a more abstract approach where trees merge into the night sky, which–for me–implies the entire universe. I wanted it to become dreamier and more open.”
