Printmaking

Much of my formal training is in printmaking, and it’s a medium I find accessible and rewarding. Below is a mix of prints I’ve made, including woodblocks, lino cuts, silkscreens (photo and stencil), intaglio (photo and hand-drawn), and experimental techniques.

Archive I: 2033161 (Typewriter)

2016. Rust on cotton rag paper, card catalogue cards. Prints pulled from cataloguing all the pieces of a rusted, non-functioning typewriter until the typewriter could function again.

May First Series

2014. Photo intaglio prints.

This series was the first time I was combining photo collage and printmaking. Working with digital photos all taken on the same day but in different places, I was experimenting with representing memory. This series intersects with my ongoing photo series of people using their phones during historical events and in front of monuments.

Ongoing Memory Series

2014 – 2015. Photo intaglio and Photo silkscreen.

Building off the May First series I continued to mash together photos from the same day into prints. I never cropped the images, so the overlays were true to the original format, but I also began to include scanning failures and corrupted digital files into my sources.
