Thank you for sharing the work of your artist friend. Each print is more marvelous than the last. I’ve done a tiny bit of linoleum block printing — enough to be in absolute awe at the beautiful detail in these. And her attentive eye. Everything from individual blades of sea grass to bubbles on water to the sky reflected in rippled geometry behind a trio of moving ducks. What a delight.
Thanks, Julie. Glad to hear that someone with experience appreciates Sherrie's excellent work. Yes, those details are amazing, esp. when you know all that goes into them.
I am mostly attracted to her linout of a tidal pool,
‘Weeds’, Mooch Brigade, and Out of the Blue .
Thank you Jason, for providing a breath of peace and a feast for my eyes on this Thanksgiving day. I added a Thanksgiving Wish for you on your last post just this morning. I will include it below in case you missed it;
To one of my favorite people on Stack,
Dear Jason,
Wishing you a wonderful gathering of friends and family on this Thanksgiving day,
“Gently the dark comes down over the wild, fair places,
The whispering glens in the hills, the open, starry spaces;
Rich with the gifts of the night, sated with questing and dreaming,
We turn to the dearest of paths where the star of the homelight is gleaming.”
Thank you, Lor. Glad Sherrie's work spoke to you. I love it, esp. those those you mention and a few others.
And thank you very much for the well wishes and the lines of poetry. I did see your initial posting but haven't had time until now to respond. I like her evocative lines of returning to the hearths of home through the wild spaces. Be well.
Indeed. The cultural shift is only what one individual can do... not knowing the power of Influence... but having to have faith. Can parents teach children Not to drive... Not... how to drive? We teach by example. Is it really impossible to Not own a car? It all depends on what one chooses. Life style pioneers is the challenge, how does one indeed vote or change the world with one's actions. I think it's still got a tremendous upside... (since hardly anyone is choosing it.) Becoming a Townie. Maybe there are a lot more of us than we realize. Very good article! Thanks.
Thank you, Mark. Horror is a good word for the range and scale of impacts from tires. And yes, reduction of consumption is a good place to start with all this, but sadly that's not the road we're on. Not yet, anyway.
FYI, I think you meant for this comment to be on Where the Rubber Meets the Road, rather than here on my piece on Sherrie York's art.
This is a beautiful feature of Sherrie’s work—thank you so much for sharing it. I had the good fortune of learning from Sherrie at Hog Island this summer, and she’s such a kind and patient teacher in addition to being a fantastic artist. Seeing her linocuts featured here brought me right back to those wonderful days on Hog Island—thank you!
The art you shared here is breathtaking. I have looked through the pieces three times already, and wow - they don't lose their impact with repeated viewings. I'm in love.
Hope you and your loved ones had a beautiful holiday. And thanks so much for mentioning my series above. Deep gratitude to you.
Let me be the caboose to this lovely conversation by simply expressing the hope you are well. You are performing a great service, so mind your health so you can keep doing it.
I read thru most of the long story about the Klamath dam removals and local opposition. Appreciate you pointing to this. Even now that we hear that salmon are already returning to this river, it’s still important to listen and understand the pain of those raised at the edge of a lake now gone.
Well said, Sylvia. And that fear of change is also rooted in a) longstanding anti-government feeling stoked by generations of disinformation, b) occasional government overreach, and c) increasingly stark inequality as money funnels upward and folks in rural areas feel forgotten. And there's our ecological amnesia too, where we think the dammed lake, rather than the ancient river bed, is a norm to stick to.
Beautiful, inspirational work: thank you for introducing Sherrie to me. I am recovering from major spinal surgery and am learning anew how to be slow, how to move step by step, how to let simple tasks take time. It is a deep learning. Your writing and Sherrie’s images show me how to be with whatever life brings to find the beauty in it. Thank you

I am thankful that you've introduced this marvelous artist to me! Much Gratitude!!!
Thank you, Jason, and the Field Guide community for your warm reception and kind embrace of my work. I'm honored.... and tickled 47 shades of pink.
Thank you for sharing such beauty. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Heather.
Love, Bonnie
And Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, Bonnie. Be well.

Thankyou for this deep dive into the horror we are inflicting on Mother Earth through more obese vehicles & tyres
How do we change the destructive direction we are so locked into.?
‘ To have or to be’ we must switch our focus to being, experiencing, away from possessing & consumption

Thank you, Rebecca. So glad you see what I see in Sherrie's work. Merry Winter to you as well.

Thank you, Michael. I am well. I wish the same of you.

People want their worlds not to change.

Absolutely stunning works! The craftsmanship is astounding. As a Mainer living out of state these were a welcome reminder of the beauty of home.
Thank you, Victoria. That's nicely said. If I were living away from here I think Sherrie's coastal scenes would be good company to keep.
What a gift to be introduced to this wonderful artist! Thank you so much!
Happy to share her great work, Rebecca. Thanks for being here.
Wow what beautiful linocut works.... some look like photos. Thnx for sharing🤸♀️🍄🌻
Sherrie's linocuts are amazing, she captures the ripples and movement of water so well, thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Juliet. Yes, her work with water and light is amazing.

Thank you, Lynne. I'm so glad that our work speaks to you in this time of recovery. Good luck. May your walks grow longer and more comfortable.
