The Slow Art of Printmaking

During my year of living slowly, I took a printmaking class with the lovely and talented Hilary Lorenz of Stone Trigger Press. Hilary’s work shares many themes with my own. She creates installations that juxtapose wilderness with urban contexts, often with linoleum block prints that celebrate the beautiful textures of birds and other animals.

In that class, I made a series of “Gadget” prints exploring the awkward interplay of digital media and human bodies. In these images (like the ones above and below), I wanted to highlight the physical discomfort and psychic alienation of simultaneously interacting with real and virtual worlds. I hope that interplay stays awkward.
