INK – METAL – PAPER – PRESSURE
The Intaglio Studio
Printmaking has always been my primary medium. The surface created by the intaglio plate continues to intrigue me as ink is pressed into the fibers of the paper at varying depths. There is the aspect of printmaking that doesn’t allow the work to be fully seen until it is printed…
one moves along through the process with an element of intuition and intention,
as well as prior skill and knowledge of course, but also and hopefully always
a degree of uncertainty and surprise about the final product.
From the beginning, my images have sprung from reflections – my own, or others –
on the natural world and examinations of things at their essence that consider the metaphor, analogy and connection to human sensation and experience.
