Taking a cue from a famous 1833 engraving by Adolf Vollmy that depicts a Leonid meteor shower – I’ve added a more minor meteor shower to a scene of Tree Swallows playfully flying in my back yard at sunrise. In my observations, tree swallows are equally fierce and graceful – effective aerial insectivores (although not as mighty as the dragonfly).

A reaction to the alarming global insect population decline, I cut the shapes of moths to create light/shadow conveying the idea of “presence” and “absence,” while thinking about light pollution. A few of the cut shapes are sewn back onto the paper, and some are scattered below the piece. The main subject of the woodcut is a spawning event of Mayflies and the resulting spring feast for swallows that I witnessed back in 2014 along the shore of the Ohio River in Louisville.

In great anticipation of the Solar Eclipse on April 8th, 2024, I wanted to honor the quiet and moving experience I witnessed in 2017 in Cookeville, Tennessee. I pushed the Earth shine (light reflected off the Earth and onto the Moon) to give greater definition to the Moon. The Moon blocks the Sun for a few minutes casting a 100-mile wide shadow in the Path of Totality.
