My work is inspired by mythology, monsters, and within the last 5 years Pareidolia>Seeing faces or human like qualities in something that shouldn’t contain them. Landscapes out in New Mexico are prime examples of faces coming out of the fabric.
The monotype process is started by applying etching ink on plexiglass then removing the ink to create detail with various tools and moves till the desired result comes to life. Next, a single piece of paper is placed over the plexiglass and sent through an analogue printing press, yielding one unique print. The image on the plexi is then erased. I’ve been solely creating monotypes for 18 years.
