WOODCUTS FROM THE ALONE TRIP by FLAVIA BACARELLA
Flavia Bacarella presents a series of woodcuts that illustrate THE ALONE TRIP: IN THE WILD DOWN UNDER, written by her husband, Keith Stewart. This is their second collaborative project. The book recounts the story of the author’s solitary journey in wild Australia. Bacarella’s evocative woodcuts capture the spirit of the book, bringing to life Stewart’s daily routines, his friendship with a monitor lizard, and his coming to terms with solitude.
Flavia Bacarella’s art alternates between woodcut and painting. She studied at the NY Studio School and holds an MFA from Brooklyn College. She has shown her work at Lohin Geduld Gallery in NYC; the Sullivan County Museum and the Kurt Seligmann Studio in the Hudson Valley; Fairleigh Dickinson University and Blair Academy, both in New Jersey.
