Printmaking!! I primarily do reductive relief prints using a PVC board called Sintra instead of linoleum.
Common Questions-
What is printmaking??
An art form consisting of the production of images, usually on paper but occasionally on fabric, parchment, plastic, or other support, by various techniques of multiplication, under the direct supervision of or by the hand of the artist. Such fine prints, as they are known collectively, are considered original works of art, even though they can exist in multiples.
What's the difference between a reproduction and the kind of prints you make??
(An original print is) "an image that has been conceived by an artist as a print and executed solely as a print in a limited number under his or her artistic control. Each print in the edition is an original, printed from a plate, stone, screen, block, or other matrix created for that purpose. There is no one original print from which copies were made. Each is inked and pulled individually; it is a multi-original medium. The unique qualities of each matrix influence the nature of the images created by the artist. Regardless of the technology used, an original print is conceived and executed as a print, not as a reproduction of work in another medium"
(A reproduction is).. an image produced by photographic means, copied, scanned etc. Often sold as artists prints or limited edition prints and even open edition (unlimited!) prints they are usually no more than photographic copying of an existing work and should not be confused with original prints |
