Printmaking

Printmaking is the process of making artworks by printing, normally on paper. Printmaking has an element of originality, rather than just being a photographic reproduction of a painting. Except in the case of monotype or mono print, the process is capable of producing multiples of a same piece, which is called a print. There are many techniques or processes of making prints. Some of these are called , etching, drypoint, woodcut, linocut, monotype, collagraph and serigraphy known as a silkscreen. As a printmaker, I have made prints using all of the above processes.

Title: The Secret Sanctuary Medium: Tetra print

Hutton Intaglio Award /American Color Print Society/ Juron Rebecca Gilbert:

I was first drawn, or maybe equally drawn to the presence of the narrative, how the narrative works with the title, which is the Secret Sanctuary, and how the composition is divided up. I think and it’s more than ok that I don’t know, I think what we’re viewing here is one scene all happening  at the same time. But the way the composition is divided up, to me it alludes to a graphic narrative that has a sequence and the narrative isn’t completely clear but there’s an air of mystery to it and the title of the piece really offers more mystery I think, but also some positivity. And from a technical standpoint, I’m really appreciating the layers upon layers of marks, the dynamic differences of the mark, and the value structure that has been built up into this drypoint piece.
