"We are blessed, and sometimes a little bit cursed, with otters. We have counted up to 14
of them living under our house by the sea. Although they are river otters, they make their
living by fishing in the salt water. The down side is that our house sometimes smells like
crab pate, and they have torn out much of the pink insulation under the living room.
The up side is that it is an honor to have otters. They are wonderful, gregarious,
wild carnivores who are constantly amusing us with their antics of play, mock fights,
mutual grooming and sliding. Even in repose, they seem to want to touch one another.
I saw this pair on the deck just below our kitchen."

ORIGINAL PRINTS

An original print is one where there is no other original, just a plate or a stone or
a screen, etc. The process of original printmaking appeals to me because it is a
human process; it involves no complex optical equipment other than my own eyes.
I believe that technology often searates us from nature, and I like the idea that
my original prints are made by my hand.
