Process Investigations Series
Lithography and Etching | 2024
Series Statement
The Process Investigations Series explores the fundamental relationship between systematic methodology and creative discovery in printmaking. Through twelve works combining lithography and etching techniques, this series documents a sustained inquiry into how predetermined processes can generate unexpected visual outcomes.
Each piece in the series follows a specific set of procedural constraints while allowing for material variables and chance occurrences to influence the final result. The tension between control and surrender becomes both the subject and method of investigation.
