Escape 2, an artist’s book

Escape 2          11 inches x 15 inches x .5 inc           2004

Escape 2 picks up where “escape*… restrictions apply” left off, from the 7 Mile Bridge, headed west,  geographically, and from my status as a solo traveler to becoming  an honored guest of the native Florida Keys’ residents on my escape. Here I take the highway to places only a native would know, and join friends on, in, or under the waters of the Florida Keys.

The book has seven woodcut prints colorized from the original prints, unryu overleafs, altered charts, and a 1,500 word essay by the artist that speaks to the mysteries of the Keys and their residents. I am joined by a hunter/killer and earth mother in my travels from the 7 Mile Bridge to Key West and the waters off shore.
