Romania Cucuteni

Cucuteni figurines: a series of monotype prints, unique images produced by hand, using printmaking techniques but without a press, They are the result of close contact with the Moldavian landscape and the 6500 year old anthropomorphic figurines of the Cucuteni culture in Romania.
My goddess figurine images are in part improvisations in which I propose extension of the energies of their form and markings into their surroundings. The process of the monotypes' composition is a meditation and invocation of these healing energies.

The pattern-work is organic in its unified combinations of spiraling lines and . Some of this geometry becomes especially apparent when the vessel is viewed from above or below and the flowing connections between opposite sides can be seen.
