Lithographs (continued):
plate to further enhance the image. While these plates are designed to create thousands of impressions, I have arbitrarily
decided to limit my original prints to edition sizes below 100.
My collage compositions tend to be combinations of commercially printed papers and images that I have created by hand
on separate pieces of paper. The compositions are adhered to 4 ply museum rag board with archival adhesives, or
permanent acid free adhesives.
Iris / Giclée:
This is a newer category of printmaking utilizing either state of the art Iris printers from Scitex or newer wide-format printers
from Epson, Canon, Roland, Hewlett Packard and others. Original images are scanned into the computer, refined in an image
editing program like Adobe Photoshop, and output on a computer-driven inkjet printer. These images have no discernable
dot pattern and produce images that have all of the vibrancy and scale of the original. They provide an excellant low-cost
flexible way to collect my work. Originally I only used this technology to produce high-quality reproductions of images created
in other media. However, I am currently exploring ways of incorporating digitally created passages in my monoprints and I am
also developing a series of digitally manipulated photographic editions based on the images found in the "Works in Progress"
section of this website.
