Some of the work in this exhibition is mixed media drawing, but most is produced by monotype on paper, using a printing press. |
The shoulders of foundry type and monotype characters usually are cast to provide the proper distance. |
I try to make myself into a channel for the truth of the subject to come through me into the drawing, painting, monotype, whatever it is. |
For nearly a century, the text to be printed was cast in hot metal, using monotype to set single characters or linotype to set text line by line. |
Established techniques like monotype, paste, spatula and batik will be applied to create new and experimental paper. |
It is called the monotype because it casts and sets up the type piece by piece. |
