Risograph print
5” x 7.875”
t: My process is highly layered, with a strong focus on materiality. I often work with found objects, personal photographs, handwritten notes, drawings, and other collected materials. I am drawn to processes of repetition, obscuring, and reassembly, which allow me to shift meaning and context depending on how materials are placed in relation to each other. Printmaking and image transfer play a very important role in my process because they allow the images I use to become slightly distorted depending on the materials and specific processes involved, adding another layer of reality that shifts between the original and the reproduction. Printmaking allows me to preserve and distort memories simultaneously, which is explored throughout my work. Risograph printing was a pivotal process for me to explore in my work. Images are broken apart into individual colors, printed separately, and manually registered. The extremely vivid colors and unexpected distortions created through this process tie closely into the spiritual imagery within my collages. Often in my work, the print is not the final work, but another step that can be further broken down, manipulated, and incorporated into mixed media pieces. For these reasons, printmaking plays an important role in my creative process, helping me transform personal imagery into objects that feel like shrines.
