Artist Statement
Many years ago I had the idea of creating a Bilingual Animal Alphabet Book and this has now been completed!
Having grown up in the UK myself, as the daughter of German parents, I consider myself to be totally bilingual and working with language and image is my profession.
I printed the original graphic book with two-color wooden puzzle prints (I developed the process myself) by hand in an edition of 40 copies.
