I have been exploring
the range of possibilities of the monotype and
monoprint. Monotypes and monoprints are unique in
printmaking as they are "one of a kind" prints. Usually
people think of prints as art work that has multiples
that are identical as in an edition of lithographs or
etchings. Each of my prints is the only one of its
kind. Although other prints might be related, there are
no duplicates. I work on plastic "plates" applying inks
with a variety of brayers and brushes and also make use
of natural objects, stencils, and smaller plates. Some
of my monoprints start on styrofoam plates that I can
incise.
My work is about layers, the building up of values,
relationships, meanings. Every time we peel away or add
one layer, we are confronted with a new one, sometimes
a new challenge, sometimes a new understanding. I use
different viscosities of ink to create pattern and
texture and my prints are the result of many trips
through the press. Each print literally has many
layers. My work is informed by my interest in the
natural world, Judaic folk art and my family history.
