I've posted a series of 20 C-prints 20"x30" of close-ups of my intaglio portfolio. The work is a deep exploration into a vocabulary of mark-making. I trained under a master print maker from Crown Point Press 15 years ago. Recently, I went back to that work to look into the rhythm, punctuation, and utterance of the mark. Teasing out close-ups that unlocked new compositions of expression, rhythm, decision-making and hope. The work parallels my recent explorations into language, narrative, and the physics of resonance, but is rendered in a direct way: explicit, direct, physical marks to elucidate material sensuality.
