SUN OVER THE MOUNTAINS

This piece, part of my wood block series, is my way to show respect to the power of change on this planet. It's an honor to the glorious mountains, like the Rockies, the Alps and the Appalachians, that are formed by folding creating ridges and valleys. (Folded mountains are created when two tectonic plates come together causing them to rise out of the earth.)
This is enamel on copper. The mountains were formed by folding, forging and enameling with blue enamels given to me by my friend and silversmith, Jeannine Rogers.
