Rhoda at Southeast Halt

Elisa Kay Sparks

Woodcut Print

29 March 2025

Seattle, United States of America

This woodcut print by Elisa Kay Sparks pays tribute to Virginia Woolf and the enduring emotional resonance of her literary legacy. Titled "Rhoda at Southeast Halt," the piece evokes the psychological and aesthetic atmosphere of Woolf’s fiction—particularly referencing Rhoda, a character from The Waves, who, like Woolf, dies by drowning. 

Created in remembrance of Woolf’s death in 1941, the work honors her creative productivity in the face of mental illness and private as well as public tragedy.
