“I like to leverage the unique characteristics of printmaking, especially working with multiples and the accessibility of the medium. In current projects, I juxtapose plant illustrations from the first secular books printed in Europe in the 1500s with my own photos of similar plants. I am exploring how this contrast between old and modern plant images captures the timeless, mysterious and often ambiguous relationships between plants and humans. And, in spring 2023, I enjoyed drawing some simple domestic scenes when looking for a subject matter for my etching studies. ”
