Extreme Printmaking
Printmaking can be found anywhere; the lipstick on a glass, the track of a snail through the sand, or the bedded grass from a resting deer or two. What attracts me to this pictorial storytelling is the layers of printing over all of life, all substrates and the ephemerality of mark making of the more-than-human world. It becomes a non-verbal language that we can start to understand, it bridges the natural world with our cultured one.
The examples below were made out in the field with earth, charred beams, livestock, snow and rain. They are a representation of the environment and landscape surrounding the studio, an homage, or a love note to the land.
