Scenes from the Grand Opening

This series of woodcut prints are based on unusual things I have seen in supermarkets. My working theory is that everyone, no matter how conventional or unusual, has to eat, so sooner or later everyone shows up at the supermarket to buy groceries. Spend enough time in supermarkets, and you are bound to witness some unusual events. Some of the resulting images are literal depictions of the original event, some are slight exaggerations, while others take a "what if?" approach, but all are based on a true event. The 14 prints in the current exhibition are favorites from this ongoing series that includes 21 prints so far.
