1993 abstract woodblock print titled Ghost Trap by artist Anne Havens (American; born 1941). Signed, dated, titled, and numbered 7/20 lower edge.

From the artist:

B.A., Stanford University, 1963 (History, Foreign languages)

Mostly self-taught artist, with some formal study at Stanford University; Academie Julian, Paris, France; Rochester Institute of Technology; Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, NY.

For the most part, I am an intuitive artist, finding rather than ordering up, always looking around the bend. I search for shapes or situations that reverberate in me, following the pull of my motivation and energy.

I work in many media, and enjoy letting them bounce off of one another. Found materials, or objects, are often a source of inspiration, or triggers for action. Much of my work on paper is an offshoot of my sculptural work, or continues my interest in materials in some way.

Ideas are often the jumping-off point for work, but hopefully the end-result will transcend them and reveal something significant, or surprising. I am interested in discerning what I have really been up to, rather than what I think I had in mind, and that is what keeps me fascinated with the whole enterprise.

My art-making is my way of dealing with life. It lets me act out, exorcise, focus, resist  disintegration, and, most of all, be surprised. I can only hope that the metaphors that I find in the process will have echoes for others as well.
