My work involves the stereotyping of the woman's role, place and image in our society. The clothing without the body as only a memory is a recurring theme. The images dance, spin and walk through life as only an illusion of the women inside the beautiful exterior shell. Texture, color and drawing form the basis of my work, and the techniques of printmaking, my chosen medium, allow me the tactile experience of experimenting with all of these together. The additive and subtractive nature of the collagraph and solar plate techniques allow for a richness and freedom in color and texture that inspire my work. |
