Sometimes it's fun to visually remember that I work with a Japanese method of printmaking. When I thought of raking, I thought of the lovely raked gravel temple gardens I saw in Kyoto at the Mokuhanga Conference last summer.
I used my father's handwriting to represent poverty, as he came from a very poor family. You can read his story here.
