Pull, 2025
wood, paper, ink, engraving This moment, engraved in wood, I’ve titled “Pull.” It echoes my earlier copperplate engraving, “Moths,” where a discarded phone became an unexpected lure. Here, the narrative continues, the cool screen now held deliberately. Initially conceived as “Two Moths” – one drawn to the digital glow, the other the hand that held it – the scene evolved. More moths arrived, a silent congregation upon the illuminated surface and the human touch. This shift underscores the compelling allure, the almost magnetic draw these devices exert. Consider this: the instinctive flight towards light, now redirected. This isn’t a judgment, but a quiet observation of our contemporary reality. This unseen pull, this constant hum of connection that can, paradoxically, create a subtle detachment from the world immediately around us. What unseen forces guide our attention, and what beauty might we miss in their insistent glow?
