Printmaking
In process I try to keep the shapes, marks and layers fluid, responding to the previous decisions made in the artwork as opposed to a pre-planned arrangement. The paper is chosen for both formal and conceptual reasons. The Kitakata produces a crisp image that visually advances; Sekeshu softens the image slightly and locates the image a bit more in the “space” of the paper. Nepalese Lokta references the human figure in its skin-like translucence and helps to reinforce the spiritual/corporeal duality in the work.
