About Me

- JANUS - looking backwards and forwards is a Janus trait - for me a way to record the "in between thought", whether in retrospect, or as a notion for the future. I make original prints, currently etchings. I sometimes write and take photographs. I am inspired by what I see and read. Although postings are chronologically recorded by date and time in this protocol, the images exhibited, often seen in different stages of production, are from another time. So, with each new posting, earlier postings can undergo revision or amplification as will be noted, or requested. The addition of a SNAPSHOTS Blog and a VIRGINIA WOOLF Blog are included because my different interests tend to influence what I do as an artist. There will be a Family Blog, too, for the same reason.
How many were in this series? Did you make the paper yourself?
ReplyDeleteThere are five in the series.
ReplyDeleteThe description, 'handmade paper', usually means that the artist made the paper, hence the emphasis on the recycling aspect and how much of it is acid free. This promises a long life to the print, if it is mounted on acid free mat, and framed properly.
The printed green paper field-bits were added while the pulp was wet, melding into the threads of some plain sheets of paper.
This is all part of the art of combining the plain and the texture to create an image of interest. It all dries as one piece of paper.
