ARTIST STATEMENT
The art I create is bound to my process of reduction printing. Hand
carving and inking multiple layers of textures and colors to produce a work that invites the viewer to immerse themselves into the
experience of the artist and connect at a deeper level with the subject.
I am a native of Michigan’s the Upper Peninsula and grateful to
experience this outdoor wonderland every day.
Block prints, or relief prints are created when surface area is carved
from a flat plate of wood or linoleum. The surface of the plate is then inked and transferred to paper by hand or press to make an image, leaving the carved area unprinted. I generally use a reduction technique in which this process is repeated in a successive manner of carving, inking, and pressing the same block until the image is complete. The lightest areas of the image are generally created first
followed by the darker colors. I aim for a consistent looking image
across a small number of prints. This process provides near endless
opportunities for mistakes, which makes it very challenging, but also
very rewarding when things work as desired.
