In preparation for a trip to the French Riviera I began a series of large works on paper inspired by the French Toiles du Jouy. I started by experimenting with a variety of printmaking techniques- blocks, plates, and/or stencils. This led to a body of work that was designed to link together to form repeatable patterns.  I made some new books and also some large pieces that I called Wall(paper). It was satisfying to me in old familiar ways (bringing me back to my early career as a textile designer), so I decided to stay with this way of working as I developed specific pieces for several upcoming exhibitions.
