About my art as a print maker...  

In  graphics I don’t seem  to differentiate between the figurative and the  abstract- merging nature, shadows,  lights and even humans.  I feel the trapped and overheated vibrations of the inner universe. I try to lend to my graphics an iridescent feel as if the ravages of this earth and ever- organic time can not touch them. My  spaces  have shed their physical realities becoming an idiom for the wandering desires of the female universe - continually struggling to break loose and continually struggling to be free.
I would reconfigure the  universal settings.
As an artist I  search for personal, familial, and social space within the attitudes and mores of an antagonistic society. The women are surrounded by empty architectural or natural spaces and seem enveloped in eloquent silence. Space is a predominant extension of my trope.
The graphics  cant be without ambience which is shaped up by  the sense and sensibility and even the non sense and violence of the times. So the art has to be faces of history and contemporaneity and future. The art has to be part of reality and myth.
It is the symbiosis set in the  exaggeration of poster art yet rooted in the classical mode. The  graphics would exude the civilizations and concepts through the dramatics and antics of human enigma. I must tell a history and narrate a modernity even if sounding mythical.
Let me say it that I travelled on  from being a painter  to becoming a graphic artist. So I can comprehend that my graphics have the memories of  paintings. I  love to use the technique of intaglio, aqua tint, stenciling, relief,  wood cut,  lino,  collagraph, to delineate the  ironies and ambiguities of the  animate and the inanimate. I experiment  going beyond traditional print making techniques. Lately  I found myself  heading nowhere when our community studio was closed for renovation. I knew it would take an era to reopen. Though  I was doing paintings and was making documentaries in the meantime   the very thought of not making prints made me a rebel. I invented that press was not an essential tool for print making. And lo, now  I can make prints with anything (or nothing). I recycled waste papers, twigs, buttons, boards, hardboards, rings, torn and left out pieces of ply -name anything and I will create something meaningful out of it. So now I traverse beyond traditional printmaking.
