The combination
of the aesthetic and the craft inherent in woodcut printmaking
is what draws me to this medium.
The works are always done in series, the
most current based on my own original limericks. In my constant
pushing of the woodcut process each piece incorporates intricate
patterns, texture and transparencies. After creating the image
I cut the block, in effect, creating a jigsaw puzzle. The
individual pieces may be left as flat surfaces or carved then
inked, reassembled and printed.
All my works are original small edition,
color prints that I hand-pull myself. They are not reproductions,
such as giclees, which are copies of original works of art
then produced by technicians using a computer or other photo-mechanical
methods.
My work has been selected for many corporate
and private collections, including The Library of Congress
Print Collection, and has also been in many regional and national
exhibitions, including a solo show at The Johnson Museum of
Art, Cornell University.
