relief print – 2018
To post images to this blog I photograph my artwork and use software to straighten and color correct it to match the actual piece. I photograph many pieces that I don't post or even use. But during the pandemic, I worked mainly from home; the school and print shop on campus were closed. I started learning Affinity Photo, combining some of these unused images to create new pieces.  This piece above was a combination of a relief print, a collograph and applied filter. 
Is it legitimate art when the artist uses software to create something new. I think so. You? And how do you set the value of art created with software?
Digital art started selling in 2014, and in 2021 exploded when a
 JPG file made by Mike Winkelmann - sold for over $60 million dollars. The digital collage entitled "Everydays – The First 5000 Days" is made from 5000 images Mr. Winkelmann captured and posted online every day since 2007. Software was used to create or "Mint" the image. Read more on this in an article the New York Times ran March 11, 2021. ​

Pink Geometry, detail.

Paper, thread and plane geometry.

Pink Geometry is my latest experiment with woodblock printing. It combines woodblock printing with hand stitches as the blocks are  pieced together with needle and thread. The paper used is from Thailand. Its delicacy belies its strength. As sheer and delicate as it is, it's strong enough to be stitched together as a kind of paper quilt.  
I had no idea what I'd get when I ran it through the press.  The paper has very large fibers running though it, which asserted themselves during the printing process. What is showing is the back side of the print. The large dense fibers in the paper blocked the ink from seeping through to the back. This effect was an unknown but delightful outcome,  which drove the experiment forward.

Learning Aquatint. 2 series

3/23/2021

 

Chai Series 

My fascination with the geometric shapes origami presents is visible in these 2 series of engravings.
​I experimented with a new technique - printing 2 colors at once. As usual some surprises resulted. Some good; all worth sharing.  These are small;  Each is 7" X 5.75". They are presented in the order I printed them. The plate was not cleaned between passes. ​I actually printed these in the fall of 2019. And put them away, feeling they were not so successful.  Recently I looked at them again and decided they were worth sharing. 

Morning Brew

After altering the plate to reveal more folded paper shapes, I printed the second group I call Morning Coffee.

Faceted Shapes inspired by art giant.

These faceted shapes prints were inspired by Sol Lewitt's Wall Drawing #564 at the at the Paula Cooper Gallery. LeWitt, whose career spanned four decades, is regarded as a founder of both Minimal and Conceptual art. 
This matrix was the final piece made in the 3rd quarter of my "Pandemic Academic Studies." The 3 woodblock printer's proofs. are 11.75 X 8.25" - ink on paper.
