All of my work uses printmaking as a foundation to build on. The accessibility of mark-making that is exclusive to printmaking and not available in any other medium fascinates me. I find the actual physics of printmaking, the nuts and bolts aspect to be captivating. A painter makes a single brush stroke, but to achieve that in printmaking three or more steps are involved. You are coerced into the construction of art. Also, the end result of having more than one piece of a particular work appeals to me in an egalitarian sense, the potential to have an image in more than one place simultaneously.
