Opis

The theme of Pressing the Limits is experimental monotype "imprinting" rather than "printmaking." "Imprinting" is more expansive, and opens the door to photographic work. "Imprinting" is also more intriguing, and conceptually seminal to the esoteric processes which are shared by all forms of printmaking. The often used term "printmaking" can tend to create the assumption of limitations, which we are battling against. Artists: Michael Costello: B.F.A. Printmaking, Art Institute of San Francisco.
