The Series "Greek Motifs" reflects my desire to create new images using familiar motifs from the rich and endless history of Greece. Each motif has been researched and selected from a specific era - cut from linoleum and printed onto a stucco-like surface giving the image distrested effect and a sense of "elapsed time".
