Print Description:

Fire #1, Tina demonstrates Moore’s mastery as a draughtsman, showcasing his ability to shift space with color, line, and gesture. Moore’s compositions include mirrors, water, and reflections, shifting the gaze from marks to intentions and intimations. Moore is both bold and enigmatic in his approach, pulling his audience through the middle passage into a world that is familiar yet unknown, and in focus but unclear of the direction of action. This multi-color lithograph was drawn with a combination of stones and plates.
