Burden II is a large hanging scroll, 12'x3'. In most forms of printmaking, the initial image produced by the artist is reversed through the printing process. To achieve the artist's desired specificity, a shift in thinking is required, a reverse thinking of sorts. Though not actually printed, the scroll references this thought process as it is painted and collaged on the reverse of transparent roll of mylar, and not turned "right side up" until after its completion. Ink, acrylic, handmade papers, on mylar - 2007
