Layer upon layer of richly colored ink creates vibrant depth in Ruth Hesse's original monotypes. Her new body of work features abstracted imagery drawn from the natural world.   Bands of color recall elements of land, water, and sky.  These images are balanced against the constraints of a square format, which empasizes the formal aspect of Hesse's project.
