Although versed in most printmaking media, my preference has been to work in woodcuts. The reductive nature of the activity, the evidentiary pile of wood chips at the end of a work session, and the patterns of rolling and replenishing ink during printing always seems like a natural occurrence. Thematically, most of my print projects tend to follow the same conceptual path as my drawings and other works on paper. Yet primarily due to several years of performing demo work in teaching studio courses in printmaking, there has been a freedom of diverse thematic approaches to some projects, mostly with the inclusion of appropriated elements in the composition development stages.
