Whether you're walking through the garden of Andy Warhol's Flowers series or taken to the top of Mt. Fuji by Hokusai and his brilliant eye or condemned to the deepest level of Hell or exiled from Heaven by Gustav Doré and his illustration for Dante's Inferno or Paradise Lost; printmaking has a fervent history of beauty, challenge, poise, magic and mere impossibility. Among this exuberant and vast history of printmaking it would be absolutely silly for me to think that the work I create in a singular class in college would ever even hold a candle to this monumental medium. Thus we are left quite empty handed, forever producing endless material toward an art that is quite abundant with beautiful work. Why overload it? So instead I propose responding to it. Not trying to forever produce what has already been accomplished but merely creating a dialogue with the past of printmaking. The devil, steeples and Elvis Presley will all be part of my visual vocabulary. Screen printing my medium.
