“The only valid printmaking today is the process-oriented, research approach which incorporates all we presently know and have come to awareness of concerning the nature of art and life for the given individual. This is only possible to know through careful study of past printmakers and artists. Printmaking can be executed as a single medium or can incorporate multiple mediums at once. “An Aesthetic for Printmaking” sets forth my beliefs for the practicing printmaker today.”
