It Comes in Waves Print by Charliehorse Press
“Processing my grief as a transnational transracial Colombian adoptee has always come in waves; the water may be still for months and in the next moment there may be a monsoon. It Comes in Waves is a reflection of the nonlinearity of grief and healing from grief. It is beautifully and challengingly unpredictable.
Printed on a Vandercook Universal 4 Press at MCBA. The background is a linocut of doodle pattern I find myself drawing often subconsciously; paired with the ocean-like hue, it is meant to give the impression of waves.
This piece is a part of my first artist's book! Currently in progress and tentatively titled Pequeña, it is an adoption file folder overflowing with individual pieces that reflect my lived experiences as an adoptee. It is a celebration of a lifetime of ever-evolving self-research.” -Charliehorse Press
