RETROSPECTIVE: Intaglio and Litho
Printmaking was my primary medium in college. Studying at the University at Albany with Robert Cartmell in intaglio and Thom O’Connor in lithography, I made many prints that combined drawing from found photographs—especially group portraits—with texture and pattern. In some, I cut the etching plate so that embossed white rings would appear within the image, singling out individuals within the group. After I got my MFA in printmaking, it would be several years before I returned to the medium.
