Unscripted Tales
With these pieces I wanted to use the structure of a comic book page, and the convention of panels as a way of dividing time, to see how a limited number of images could be rearranged to create different relationships. The works were created with a sense of improv, each limited printing day spent in the studio making impulsive choices of color and layout, reckoning with how the format provided connection between elements. Additionally this series has resulted in other mutations, small layered monoprints created from test sheets, and book forms that further explore the relationship between these images. Narrative, whether overt, or subtle, remains a key part of my work, and these newer linocuts are the result of continuing to play with how the structure of a page and the relationship of images encourage the viewer to consider how each print is read and ultimately how they form each story.
Each set of prints was made using the same library of 24 individual linocut blocks in the summer of 2020.
