Artist Statement

My prints are rooted in stories that give a sense of connection. The repetitive nature of printmaking can act as an anchor for my ideas. Symbolism that is central to my work becomes abstracted and reconstructed through lithography, intaglio, and monotype methods. There is a translation that occurs between the matrices and myself. I choose a story to depict or tell and then respond to the layers that build on the plates or paper. Working with CMYK photolithography or pronto plates I alter each layer individually creating windows for certain layers to bleed through. This effect can also occur naturally after printing the same plate continuously. These moments of erosion of imagery can alter the interpretation of stories in my work. Repetition in every form of printmaking enables me to sit with these stories longer and see how they transform.
