◄ Prints

As an amusement, I have made monotypes since I began to paint. It intrigues me to put ink on a piece of glass, then put a piece of cloth or paper down to pick up a print that is backwards to what I had started out to do.

To pick up a print on mylar is excitingly different. The ink doesn’t soak in but splays out in all directions. This begins a whole new process. The pulled mylar is a sea of wet color waiting for something to happen.  Using a spray bottle of water, an eye dropper to pick up the ink, and a dryer to stop the process, I go on to explore and build new images I had never thought of before.
