Large Scale Printmaking

[jmcrook]

...yeah but...we have computers now.

i tease. you're absolutely right about the history of it. i was always impressed at my friends' work in that studio class; having to basically work upside down and backwards. 3D/sculpture was so tough for me because i struggle to think that way and with spatial recognition. some of my friends took on such ambitious Printmaking projects, it was nuts. all of us walking around to different studios at 3am to check out what everyone was working on was a common thing in the art building. we'd get to the Printmaking studio and everyone was just beat and tired like ".....yeah that's it." lol.

thank you so much for sharing this. this is amazing work!

Oh I miss those days of being a studio rat with everyone into the wee hours... debating doing back to the studio now and working on a different project that’s been on the back burner for a couple weeks. My primary process that I work in is mezzotint engraving. It’s my favorite thing ever. Here’s a sneak peek of one of the copper plates I’m currently engraving

Part of a larger series of work about an abandoned mall and how shifts in consumer culture and capitalism has impacted the appearance of the landscape and the architecture that we’ve built on it
