EDITIONED MIXED MEDIA PRINTS
This ongoing hybrid printmaking project includes letterpress and acrylic painting on a collaged map. The intention is to make an editioned print for many of my ongoing series. Much of the planning and painting is taking place in my Lewiston, Maine studio, and the printmaking processes including Chine-collé, type casting, and letterpress printing is taking place at and with the help of Greg Shattenberg in his Auburn, Maine studio.
The project is funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
