Artist Statement
Elements of printmaking, collage, photography, drawing and painting have always been key components of the mixed media monotypes that I make. My recent body of work has allowed me to incorporate traditional printmaking techniques with polyester lithography plates in a challenging new environment of aesthetic choice and possibility.
The visual consequences of human activity colliding with the natural world are central to my work. A shadow cast, a humble coffee cup, or a printed word can have a certain elegance that evokes a particular moment in time. My work involves collecting, combining, and interacting with these images in ways that celebrate our concurrent existence.
Technique
These prints combine monotype techniques with polyester lithographic plates that contain photographic imagery and drawing, The result is a one of a kind print that is printed on an etching press.
