artist statement

My current body of work explores connections between printmaking and sculpture and the making of prints with sculptural qualities. I have been studying the various lines and mark making made possible by powered implements and am impressed by the range of emotive responses that can be achieved. The marks are determined both by the different implements I use and the lines I impart through my action. Through the combination of modern power tools and traditional printmaking methods I am creating images that imply 3-dimensional space, as well as movement in time, or what is sometimes referred to as the 4th dimension. I hope to evoke a different sense of mass, space and movement in each piece as I change the structure, form and properties of the mark making.
