Here are some images of some of the printmaking I've been experimenting with over the past year or so...the images I'm showing here are from a number of different matrices, some are the traditional copper intaglio (aquatint, hard ground, soft ground, etc.), others are photo-polymer plates (something I've found really exciting- a great way for me to combine my photography with my printmaking), and many of them have chine collee incorporated (I xeroxed some of the images onto rice paper and then pressed them into the BFK when I printed them). A lot of these prints are combinations of several different matrices, some designed to be together, others thrown together experimentally. Most of these images deal with the same themes: fertility, femininity, and what those things mean to me. I'm still working out how I feel about a lot of this work, but I've really fallen in love with intaglio.
This one shown above is a monotype I did about a year ago...before the idea for my back series ever even crossed my mind which is interesting.
This was my first intaglio matrix (shown above) and for some reason I keep coming back to it.
so cool, jessie!!!
