Monotype prints make up most of my work but printmaking produces many pieces that don’t make it for viewing. They go in a drawer and wait for other ideas to spawn.
The birth of Sculpted Print Fragments was an idea that became somewhat of an obsession. Cutting up these prints that didn’t quite make it for me gave them a new life. I have many ideas for new designs after making these pieces.
It isn’t easy and takes lots of time and patience to mold each sculptured element. Once a form is completed I apply several layers of a hard polymer medium.
These sculptural elements are meant to be decorative. They can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
