David Hawkins Rises in Western Albemarle Serigraph Sheet: 19 x 30 Printed in collaboration with Blue Ridge Graphics Edition: 70 $650
"The Rises Project depicts the Blue Ridge Mountains as seen from Barrackside, my grandparents’ farm in Albemarle County, where generations of my family have lived and worked. It was not that I particularly desired the empirical information – I had become fascinated with the narrative potential: how the rises were named, their history, their past, and the stories of their hollows. It took years of different vantage points, different maps, different conversations, and different approaches to ensure my “map” was accurate and comprehensive. The final print was created using a combination of drawing, relief printing, and serigraphy. There was a lot, in the end, that was left out – a fox in her den, names from West Wind and East Wind, Foucault sitting under a pecan tree, Tom Bombadil and Tom O’Bedlam – but there is tomorrow - and the next day. To the next horizon."
