TEN ADAGES,
ELEVEN PRINTS |
1. Black and white, the binary heart.
2. Backwards facing, prints get made step by step, a giddy parade.
3. The Hard Work Part I
Working the plate or carving the block, gravure is slow—anvil music.
4. The Woodblock
What you cut away is always void, an open space. It is the leftovers,
the uncut partsnot touched by steel that become both tangible and
substantial, the image of things.
5. The Manyness
There is a relentless symmetry to making a print, it lacks any
dimension but doubling. The echo I am.
