→ 06 Mar 12 at 11 pm crappy pic, BUT this is what has been consuming most of my time. it’s the first part of a 4 print series that i’m working on, based on baby’s breath.

it’s two 9x24 plates, one with a deep open bite + a surface roll (so the image is embossed), and the other with drypoint lines on it. these images are printed on top of each other on the left, while the right is pure stitching.

i’m really happy with this piece, and super excited to continue with the series. better images soon to come!

been very busy with:

- a 4-5 print series of diptychs about lines in nature based on baby’s breath////i’ve been experimenting a lot with multi-plates, surface rolls, sugar lift, embroidery, and mono-print. so that will feel great once it’s done. (hopefully by this friday!)

- reworking that 18x24 print from last semester (yes, that plate has been cut in half/scraped) and i plan on doing some sugar lift, aquatinting, and color work with that through different states

- montoype! letting loose, learning new techniques—getting back to basics and doing some work based on the figure or architecture just to get a hold on the new medium.

- and of course, my internship at anthropologie which i’ve only got one month left of

i’ll definitely be posting pictures soon!

I guess what I meant by figurative was more in the non abstract way, more illustrative work I think is what i meant. Do you see yourself in anything of that style?
for right now, i’m going to go with no. however, i’m still open to doing illustrative work such as commissions for friends etc. but as for the work i’ve been developing and wanting to focus on lately i definitely plan to work strictly abstract. that’s the plan for now, at least!

Do you have much desire in figurative artwork at this point? How do you see your styles changing in the future? any dream projects?
yes and no. i think the one thing about the figure that truly captivates me is gesture, especially how the early stages of a sculpture or a quick 1 minute sketch can have so much life in them if you look for it. i’m not sure where my style is going to go, but i do want to strive toward capturing that exact moment of energy, minus the actual figure.

dream project right now = to work on massive sheets of plywood! (something i’m hoping to turn into a reality with my senior studio next semester!)
