Print Work in Process for the Richmond Hill Studio Tour 15th Anniversary by Sue Foerster
Pulling monoprints from plexiglass using gesture drawing as the underlying structure for inspiration. Experimenting with a new approach, a new direction, a detour to work out new ideas while embracing my passion for the human figure.
Achieving an effect, layer by layer, and colour by colour with acrylic and gel medium painted on plexiglass and pressed on to watercolour paper with a brayer and human hands.
This is a dry paper method and an exploration of transparency beyond monoprinting created with many pulls, requiring registration marks for accurate placement.
The goal is to create a 3 dimensional print allowing the beauty of the paper to do it's thing.
Boldness and gusto is payment enough for growth.
An artist is not a finished product that stays the same.
Final printed versions will be on display and available for purchase at The Mill Pond Gallery, 314 Mill St., Oct 13, Friday 6-10pm. Art bus,Oct 14, Sat 10am to 5pm. and Oct 15, Sun 10am to 5pm.
