I created this linoleum cut for a printmaking class in 1996. The assignment was to take a known artist’s work and make it our own. I decided on The Three Ages of Woman by Gustav Klimt. For me at the time, it represented my maternal grandmother Mary Grace, my mother Yvonne and me. As I’ve unpacked my art in our new home, it made me pause and remember, but also realize it now represents my mother, me and Stella. The maternal female lineage…the unbroken line of descent through women - mother to mother - tracing back generations.
I love it so. Especially now❤️
