The idea that separation from a situation, without the overstimulation of the minutiae of domesticity and outside influence, allows for a reconsideration.  No longer fed thoughts, instructions, and directions from society, the path is rediscovered, based on the instinct and intuition that nature and life experience provide. This series of reduction linocut prints, in translucent inks, is an exploration of abstract surface design based on the pattern of rural life from a small plane, flying over Tanzania.
