"Volcano View 1" is an engaging and thoughtful piece that captures the essence of minimalistic and abstract landscape representation. It features a series of curving black lines that might suggest the form of a reclining figure or the undulating contours of hills or mountains. These lines are dynamic and fluid, imbuing the artwork with a sense of movement that draws the viewer's eye.

Adding depth and intrigue, a textured blue area of handmade recycled paper near the base of the composition evokes the feeling of water or waves, contrasting beautifully with the dark, curving lines above. The subtle inclusion of sparse, horizontal black lines contributes to a sense of open sky or expansive space, enhancing the serene and contemplative mood.

The piece stands out with its balanced composition and calming effect, stimulated by the simplicity of forms and textures. "Volcano View 1" was inspired by the striking vistas of the Icelandic landscape, with initial concepts formed during the artist's travels and sketched on-site. This work was created using a relief woodcut and Chine collé technique with handmade recycled paper, lending a layer of texture and narrative depth to the final piece.
