Prints
Etchings and Monotypes
Printmaking at Crown Point Press summer workshop
|
I use printmaking to explore ideas about composition and color. I often start from a sketch, then make an etching, that may eventually help me develop ideas for a painting.
The process of printmaking requires so much patience and attention to detail that it has changed the way I make art in all media. My natural tendency in art is to be full of ideas and want to dash ahead but printmaking has taught me to pause and consider. While printmaking requires discipline, it is also a thrilling medium where you never really are in charge, there is always an element of surprise. |
