Reaching Into the Lake is a series of etchings intertwining the real and imaginary. It is an act of noticing-things often missed– corners in stairwells, lingering hands, and dreams forgotten by the morning. To reach-into a lake is to extend a hand to something new, see one’s own reflection and the way it is broken up by-ripples, and come out different. Likewise, this selection of prints can act as a reflecting pool for the-viewer to consider their own life and memories, and leave a little bit different.
