Woo hoo! So glad to be part of Print Day in May again. I look forward to it every year. This time, I am working in my home studio, focusing on personal metaphors. I like working with collographs, water-based monoprinting, and using my drymount press to collage shapes. So glad…
I was working on watercolor monoprints I started on a residency at La Romita Art School in Umbria, Italy. I discovered that watercolor overlays on film worked beautifully to preserve the transparency of the colors underneath. Kitchen table meets printing press technology!
These are prints on the subject of climate legacy. I love posting these for Print Day in May 2024!
Adventures in collaging prints! Puzzle pieces that form new metaphors. And the very best part, is I am working in my new studio.
The prints for this year were done through rubbings, relief, and pronto plate printing. I love my archive of visuals that I can enrich and alter with all kinds of printingmaking methods.
These is inauguration day for me, the first prints created in my brand new studio! Happy International Workers Day, Print Day in May and a personal start on new creative work in the new digs for the old Big Ink. Thanks for the opportunity to participate.
