Each step in the process of making a fine art print allows for more possibilities to arise, which creates even more opportunities to discover, experiment, and learn.
Forming or sculpting the matrix (printmaking plate), into a three dimensional object, a vessel to hold and marry the ink and paper through extreme pressure, imprinting the image of ink into the fibers of the paper. Culminating with the reveal, the magic moment of peeling away the paper to behold the results of the endeavor.
When the print is dry, there are raised lines and fields of sparkling pigments, echoing the voids of the matrix, ink hills from metal valleys.
