Artist Statement:
My training in art has focused
on traditional intaglio
printmaking. In 1958 while a
student, the art department
sponsored an exhibition of
collographs by artist Glen
Alps, inventor of the process.
They were paper and cloth
collages that were inked and
printed as an intaglio plate.
Part of the excitement, was
the imposition of a variety of
textures embossed into the
paper print. Eventually the
entire art department
experimented with this new
process.
Experimentation with different
print technologies and
processes became a part of my
printmaking history. For many
years I have tried to
incorporate video, computer
and other technologies into
generally abstract and
non-objective images. Through
the years, the underlying
themes of all works have been
structure and textures from
nature influenced by my
interests in building
construction and collage.
These have been a hallmark of
most of my work. I had access
to several computer platforms
and used them to create
patterns and textures, which
were then transferred to
photo-etched metal plates.
With the advent of color
ink-jet printers, I began a
modest move toward
computer-generated art printed
on paper.
The technology and materials
then were very primitive, so I
continued to experiment, and
