The myth of Dionysus has been a unifying theme in Winters’s work for decades. The Greeks associated the grapevine with Dionysus, in part, because the cutting of the vine makes possible a bountiful harvest each season. The Signal and the Noise depicts an organic tree-like structure emerging from a print block, surrounded by several other block prints and abstract organic characters inhabiting the landscape.
