ARTISTS’ STATEMENT

In printmaking, the process of getting there interests me as much as the final result. The “main event” is the process itself. Ink, paper and idea come together to reveal the print. A well-known musician, in talking about jazz, said we shouldn’t forget that it’s supposed to be about the validity of one’s own on-going personal expression. “Jazz is about closeness to the material itself.” This can be compared to the way I feel about my own creative process.

Communicating is part of what we do with art. However, I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary for people to know everything I have in mind in creating a piece. Each individual brings something of herself/himself to a piece, therefore, reacts in a different way. This is as it should be.
