Are You?
Along with being an illustrator, I gain huge enjoyment out of utilizing technology to reproduce my images. While other people are chronicling their family vacations on photo paper with their inkjet printers, I'm likely figuring out how to get my work onto the nearest alternative surface. There are so many possibilities - metal, wood, leather, and silk to name a few. Because I have worked so extensively with silk and knew it's durability and capacity for exhibiting beautiful color, my sights landed on raw silk. Of course the fact that I happened to have 100 yards of raw silk hanging around certainly aided in that decision.
If you are interested in printing on alternative surfaces or curious about this odd affliction, you can go the the inaugural Alternative Process Digital Printing Exhibition in New York. This juried show accepted submissions from all over the world and chose 27 to represent innovation in alternative printmaking. Among those in the show is one of my hand-embellished prints of Autumn Goddess (shown above) on raw silk.
The show runs from March 7th-March 30th at the Gallery Kunstler located at Booksmart Studio in Rochester, New York. If you can't make it to the show, you can read more about my process here.
