Artist's Statement My work draws heavily on the sense of a particular moment in time, whether that moment is conveyed as a representational image or an abstraction. The formal elements of the visual language give me the tools to transform the idea; the process of manipulating these elements to support the theme bring the idea into focus. Thirty years of technical experience inform the execution of the process. And, over time, the marks made have repeated themselves, forming their own iconology, becoming their own unique signature. The inherent warmth of the wood, the use of hand tools, the physicality of pulling the print, are all a significant part of the process which plays a part in informing the final print. -- Kathryn Lee Smith
