Over the past few months I’ve been exploring digital prints and how they can be part of my creative practice. There’s a clarity and precision that I love and am always striving for in my work with glass and concrete. Working digitally eliminates the complicated process of transforming precision ideas into imprecise materials. This gives me complete freedom to explore layering and contrast and light transmission.
I have always loved drawing and printing on vellum. The floaty, soft quality to these vellum prints as light is transmitted through that is a satisfying contrast to the precision line compositions. The prints transform completely in different lighting conditions. Daylight or backlit, they glow. Low light and the saturated color and grays are darkened and focused.
