About Half Dome
This piece is part of a series called "Landscapes - Woodless Cut", a series of digital art works that express my love of the natural world. All of these images began as analog or digital landscape photographs. I have had a lifelong love of Japanese wood block prints. As a child, I was exposed to prints by Hokusai, Hiroshige and Hiroshi Yoshida. My mother (born and raised in China and Japan) had original prints by all of these artists which were on the walls of our New York City apartment from the time of my birth. These landscape images have been turned into a cross between woodcuts and photographs, though no trees were harmed in the production of these artworks. Creating them is a reductive process - removing photographic information and distilling the images into simpler visual essences, creating sky gradients, keylining and outlining components of the landscapes. All are extremely high resolution files and be printed at large sizes without losing sharpness and clarity.
