<br />
Now this is an artist !!! Imaginative, adventurous, experimental and prodigious.<br />
<br />
Among other things Diane works with intaglio, oil paint, wax, pyrography and also makes an artists book or two<br />
Based in Australia - you will have to go visit Diane's website to see more as I was only able to grab one of her images. <br />

I like the subject of this image - it seems to go well with the title - that sense of being trapped, I feel that the choice of techniques just so well suits the intentions of the artist..</div>

This particular piece by Celeste seems to be a one off - as in there are no further pieces of this ilk (sp?) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
but her website features other works as in paintings artist books and other printmaking pieces.</div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Are these not beautiful? Lisa is an artist who makes very beautiful complex artworks , using all sorts of techniques. I was a fellow exhibitor with Lisa in an exhibition in Falun, Sweden in 2007. Her work in that show was one of the pieces I particularly liked - it was a series of pieces of about A4 size that were exhibited as an installation with the suitcase they came in, as part of the work. Hers a link to the work in that exhibition - it shows the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ainescannell/1313059085/in/pool-490968@N22/">entire exhibition</a>, which was held in Falun I have been meaning to do a post on here of her work for ages.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You really have to go to her website to get an idea of where she is coming from, or you can just enjoy the works as you view them - because that's how they are - to be looked at and intellectually, so to speak, consumed. Here's her website <a href="http://www.lisabulawsky.com/">http://www.lisabulawsky.com/</a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div>Aine Scannellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12878546195653186449noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370357177101723193.post-75766031449856286522011-02-08T07:54:00.000-08:002013-05-19T09:35:33.322-07:00Marilee SalvatorI was somewhat surprised today when I realised that I hadn't included artist, Marilee Salvator here already. She was one of my early internet friends. That must have been 4 or 5 years ago. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TVFiLc66VJI/AAAAAAAABL4/cuqVOjOaqJ8/s1600/Circles_MarileeSalvatore3X.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TVFiLc66VJI/AAAAAAAABL4/cuqVOjOaqJ8/s320/Circles_MarileeSalvatore3X.jpg" width="311" /></a></div>
<br />
I felt that here was an artist making work about being a human being through the artworks she makes - and not just talking 'the talk' . What I mean is here was someone, NOT issuing forth a lot of 'pseudo intellectual' <i>artspeak</i> in her statement OR HER WORK.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TVFij1imzII/AAAAAAAABL8/Vq4wn4xjomU/s1600/comp-no23MarileeX.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TVFij1imzII/AAAAAAAABL8/Vq4wn4xjomU/s320/comp-no23MarileeX.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Her work is abstract and figurative varying from whatever the series is about. The earlier pieces I saw of hers were "Raindrops" and "The Sexual Abuse" series (the latter which I thought was a very brave move) you just have to admire that. I don't think that I could have been that outspoken ( in a visual sense - as such).<br />

Marilee's latest artwork is a large installation called "<em>Growth Patterns " </em>see image below" concerned with cell growth in a medical biological sense.<br />

I must say I am curious to find out more about it - how she made it - it seems to be printed on something other than paper ?<br />
Perhaps I will check out her blog <a href="http://marileesalvator.blogspot.com/">http://marileesalvator.blogspot.com/</a><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That particular article had Cecilia's doll forms photographed on the waters edge, somewhere in South America............but I could be wrong as to the location - anyway I liked them very much and just the idea of taking them to different palaces and documenting them in different contexts. Wish I had that original image I saw. I am pleased to see that Cecilia has finally gotten around to getting her own website together ( like me) .....you can see more of her work and the ideas behind it at her website</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ceciliamandrile.com/">http://www.ceciliamandrile.com/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I came across Mary's excellent work a few months back and it's always interesting to see any new work she uploads to the web. I truly find the way she integrates inkjet and traditional printmaking techniques to be excellent.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really like these globular works which Russell makes in 2d and 3d. His subject seems to be mainly the world of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">astronomy and landscape .

While recently exploring the web for information on artist printmakers using the moku hanga (Japanese method of woodblock) I was delighted to come across this work by Paul Furneaux. Just gorgeous.<br />
<br />
To see more of Paul's work and to find out more about the technique check out his website<br />

Until this point I had only ever done traditional printmaking techniques ON TOP of inkjet prints. Or I had made prints, using traditional printmaking techniques (mainly intaglio) and then incorporated chine colle (which were inkjet printed onto <a href="http://store.falkiners.com/store/product/7221/Mingeishi---White/">lightweight Japanese paper). </a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7UnWy9BaI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/simmwkZBv5w/s1600/1photoetchhoopheadfigureplat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7UnWy9BaI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/simmwkZBv5w/s320/1photoetchhoopheadfigureplat.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
My hesitation had been somewhat coloured by my apprehension with regard to feeding 'foreign bodies' so to speak, through my expensive <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Epson-Stylus-Colour-Inkjet-Printer/dp/B0009OH5MI">Epson R2400 printer</a>. I mean I didn't want to wreck it.<br />
I started the image from scratch with this objective in mind, i.e., that I would overlay the inkjet on to the proof. So I guess the print started its life inside the computer with the 'overcoat'.<br />
<br />
Physically - I started with the figurative image well that is, in terms of actual preparations . I made a positive in Photoshop as a bit map, to put onto the light exposure unit we have at FDPW. It's a very basic one but I am familiar with using it by now.<br />
<br />
My aluminium plate was first degreased, then I applied a layer of roll on "Fotec", photo etch, emulsion. This was put to dry, in our drying cabinet. I got the emulsion from I<a href="http://www.intaglioprintmaker.co.uk/shop/default.asp?c1=0&c2=1">ntaglio Printmaker suppliers in London</a>. I like that I can phone them if I have difficulty with this process (although I am used to it by now so don't need to) but when you are starting out its really helpful to have that technical back up.<br />
Once dry it was removed and allowed to cool to room temperature. Then I put the light box on to heat up, ours takes ten minutes. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7U20WcUgI/AAAAAAAAA9c/x48Hn7cy3X4/s1600/2floatfigphotoetchproofX.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7U20WcUgI/AAAAAAAAA9c/x48Hn7cy3X4/s320/2floatfigphotoetchproofX.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
When I do any printmaking process that requires precise measured timeing - I find it is essential to have a digital timer, otherwise I get distracted especially if I am talking to other workshop printmakers.<br />
I then put my positive which is printed onto inkjet acetate and place it over my plate which has the dried, cured emulsion on it. Masking tape is stuck onto the back/side, to keep these together and in place.<br />
<br />
Onto the glass top U.V. lightbox, I place the items - in this order<br />
<br />
my positive on acetate then my "foteced" plate then black paper or foam<br />
On top of which, I put some weight to enable the plate/positive to make good contact with the UV light source.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7VEi874lI/AAAAAAAAA9g/fwxJGQHkz8E/s1600/3ONEfigfloatin-mockupx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7VEi874lI/AAAAAAAAA9g/fwxJGQHkz8E/s320/3ONEfigfloatin-mockupx.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
This is in the form of a batch of old metal plates that we keep by the UV box for this purpose. <br />
I then expose the plate to the UV light for 3 minutes. I forgot to mention that I have already prepped the washing soda crystals mix, for developing the plate - after it has been exposed.<br />
<br />
It's a mix of 10 grammes of washing soda crystals to 1 litre of water (room temperature). <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
Having said that , in fact, personally, I always add a little boiled water from the kettle to the measured out, washing soda crystals to make sure they are dissolved and then I make the mixture up to the 1 litre mark, on the plastic jug.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7VRogelII/AAAAAAAAA9k/yW91rTSn2Fs/s1600/4ONEfigfloatingdiffcolorsx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7VRogelII/AAAAAAAAA9k/yW91rTSn2Fs/s320/4ONEfigfloatingdiffcolorsx.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>That was all I needed ( I mean, 1 litre) as it was a small plate and I had a small plastic tray to develop it in. I also put some water (room temperature) , in a similarly sized plastic tray to drop the plate into after it has been in the developer. <br />
Once the plate has been developed in the tray with the soda crystals and 'looks' right, I rinse it in the other tray.<br />
<br />
OK.......... once that's done I put the plate to 'cure' on the UV box. I leave it on there for about 5 minutes. Then it's ready to put into the mordant. <br />
<br />
Being as it's an aluminium plate, it is put to etch in a mix of copper sulphate crystal powder and a measure of salt. <br />
I still am so pleased that I can do this at home as and when I wish. It's great not to have to go into the workshop to do this. This must be so great for those printmakers who are miles and miles away from an open access print workshop or who maybe cannot afford the costs.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7WiBF9eZI/AAAAAAAAA9o/nYCLIXSIjuE/s1600/5FloatfigETCHTurquoise.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="276" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7WiBF9eZI/AAAAAAAAA9o/nYCLIXSIjuE/s320/5FloatfigETCHTurquoise.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The other good thing where etching aluminium is concerned, and one of the reasons I wanted to get used to doing etches with it - is that the' spent mordant' can be disposed of down the drain whereas copper sulphate mordant, used to etch zinc, has to be disposed of using a specialist.<br />
<br />
Having said that I remember now, reading on Nik Semenoff's website <a href="http://www.ndiprintmaking.ca/?p=74">New Directions in Printmaking</a> , that if you add something to it, the mordant becomes neutralized, making it safe to dispose of, in a domestic drain. The link takes you straight to the article. <br />
<br />
I am so grateful to people like Nik, who generously share their research, their knowledge. It's something I really believe in and why I have always endeavored to give precise descriptions of my technical processes. Once a teacher always a teacher!!........ there is that as well. <br />
But I have learned from others on the internet and I just want to repay the compliment.<br />
Enough already!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7Wt3xDmOI/AAAAAAAAA9s/udjz0jN19XY/s1600/6inkjetonetching5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7Wt3xDmOI/AAAAAAAAA9s/udjz0jN19XY/s320/6inkjetonetching5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Anyway..........so then I took a proof and was kind of annoyed to see <i>that line</i> crossing down the horizontal figure BUT as I knew I would be overlaying this, with a layer of ink from the inkjet printer - I figured it might be OK. <br />
<br />
Of course then I had to go and start trying to be a clever clog- I got this notion that I could have parts of the layer being more transparent than others. Given that the layer has to have a degree of transparency in any event - I seem to remember that I got confused at this point. As can be seen from the image (turquoise colour), I was also trying to decide which color to go with.<br />
<br />
By this time I had also scanned the proof into the computer so that I would be able to 'virtually" place in beneath my photoshop layer .<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7W-ef7CQI/AAAAAAAAA9w/RmNM5Km5ALs/s1600/7floatfigmonoprintproof4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7W-ef7CQI/AAAAAAAAA9w/RmNM5Km5ALs/s320/7floatfigmonoprintproof4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I also wanted to be able to output this layer of ink directly onto the paper. Measurements and registration was critical. I had to input the exact paper measurement that I was loading into the epson printer and have it as a 'custom setting'.<br />
<br />
HOWEVER ....I got mixed up about which direction the image comes out of the printer. It has taken ages to get used to it and I can safely say that I am no longer intimidated by the beastly thing. <br />
<br />
One of the problems with it has been that I use it now and again say on average once every 4 months so I kind of forget how to use it although I have by now printed out all the pages, that I need to refer to, from the PDF manual that comes with the printer. <br />
Honestly you'd think with a printer that costs 7 or 8 hundred pounds (when I bought it) that they would be generous enough to supply it with a hard copy manual !! I have also written note on the uses of different types of paper although I mainly use printmaking paper. I HAVE tried their own brand paper such as their watercolour paper and the Bockingford double sided paper that you can buy from places like <a href="http://www.johnpurcell.net/">John Purcell</a> or <a href="http://www.rkburt.com/products/index.html">RK Burt</a>. But there's something rather unpleasant about it in a tactile sense.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7R629KuKI/AAAAAAAAA9M/sU7pV-zi0kc/s1600/bockingford.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7R629KuKI/AAAAAAAAA9M/sU7pV-zi0kc/s320/bockingford.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
It took ages to get the paper to load into the machine and not show up on the screen as "paper loaded incorrectly" or for the paper to just spurt out of the machine. <br />
<br />
I take it as a 'given' nowadays that I may have to do about 10 attempts before it finally realizes that I am not leaving the room and that it MUST bend to my will.<br />
<br />
The other hurdle to overcome with using this printer is that it has three different entry points for the paper there is front feed, rear feed and upright feed. eeeek !!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7XR8gRrOI/AAAAAAAAA90/28ZE5Z10mfU/s1600/8floatfig2ndghostproof.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="271" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/TH7XR8gRrOI/AAAAAAAAA90/28ZE5Z10mfU/s320/8floatfig2ndghostproof.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Anyway if you click on the image above (fourth up from here) you can see that I got the inkjet image overlaying part of the etching . <br />
<br />
Even though I 'misplaced' the layer of inkjet ink, I was soh thrilled I really was . What an achievement especially for me a technical nink-a-poop !!<br />
I must have done a couple of more proofs as I seem to still have 2 that I can try this again on, it was late so I went to bed. This has yet to be resumed. I did this about five months ago now. It maybe something I use in a forthcoming project . We shall see...........we shall see.<br />

As I said to Elisabeth in an email I sent her about a week ago I think it was as much the manner in which one proposed to EXECUTE the 'collaborating' as the aesthetic of the work itself which I think was </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>more the emphasis</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> in our proposal. I have come across one or two other artists who had works in that show and wasn't that impressed with any of it, of course it's all a matter of personal taste when you really think about it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Still I will keep my eye out for when they put the next 'call for work' which should be held in 2011. Maybe it will come out soon.</span><br />

It is a technique for transferring by hand an inkjet image onto an absorbent surface such as paper, canvas, or plaster. This process gives a softer, slightly broken texture to the image and broadens the types and sizes of surfaces an artist can use. I use inkjet wet transfers throughout my work as it's perfect for re-creating the decomposed urban surface and can be easily combined with other media".</span></span></span></h1><h1 class="entry-title" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">The emphasis will be on exploring and experimenting with digital images using the Epson 7600 large format printer.</span></h1></span><br />

<br />
Tradigital portfolio/ exchange/ exhibition/ book<br />
<i>definition of what is meant by this is at the top (header) of this blog </i><br />
<br />
That's a long title - I know . But I just thought that I 'd see if any of you respond as I need to do something "actual" and real, in relation to this blog. It's getting more and more difficult to keep up my momentum. I kind of want to initiate some action in relation to the ethos of the research, as it were.<br />
<br />
I would love to co ordinate a portfolio exchange project but would want for it to be exhibited as well, internationally. <br />
As I am an independent artist without allegiances to eg the academic world - this makes things more difficult but there may be benefits that I am unaware of, as of yet.<br />
<br />
............................ Additionally I would like to see a book come out of this project, perhaps using Blurb dot com or Lulu dot com. I have previously thought that I would like a design/layout for a book by one of these 'self publishing outfits which has some pages in the book left deliberately blank.<br />
Obviously the nature of the paper would need to be considered. Thereafter artists involved with this exchange/project would make a "a printmaking" intervention therein (i.e., within these "designated blank areas").<br />
The book would document the creation of the prints; the digital technology and equipment used, along with the papers + materials. Additionally the traditional processes would be explored as well as the content/ subject of the artworks (providing the individual artists were agreeable). I would like to explore how the role of physically making the print interacts with the development of ideas and associations in relation to the artists initial intentions.<br />
<br />
It's just a pipe dream, as such, at the moment <b>but I couldn't do this on my own and would need partners</b>. <br />
I wouldn't want for the project to be wide open either in terms of participants, in that there would have to be some kind of 'selection' process. Obviously if one wants for the project to be high calibre, then the standard of the work would have to be high. Having previously participated in portfolio exchanges - I know all too well, the dissapointment of receiving an unsatisfactory batch of return prints, of which for example two thirds, appear to have been done at the last minute and even then were not even properly finished or printed.<br />
<br />
I have connections with a good number of what I consider interesting and professional printmakers so that's not so much an issue...........at this point in time it's partners coming on board who are willing to make efforts in relation to getting the portfolio exhibited and or to help with designing the layout of the book that are particularly sought. <br />
<br />
Perhaps you have experience of using the Blurb book design software or have a facility for such things? Maybe you have some ideas about funding. It could be that getting involved in a project such as this would be the right thing to do in terms of your own professional development.<br />
<br />
If you haven't been completely put off by now (which of course isn't what I wish to do rather I want for you to realize all that is involved !<br />
<br />
then please just leave a comment with a means of my replying to you.<br />

As a final footnote I wouldn't imagine this coming to realization until about 18 months time so roughly the fall of of 2011.Aine Scannellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12878546195653186449noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370357177101723193.post-31542316270584331262010-03-03T12:12:00.000-08:002010-03-03T12:46:19.119-08:00Marilee Salvator<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/S47JF0LVSzI/AAAAAAAAAyU/tOI53xXGshk/s1600-h/CirclesMarileeSalvator2X.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/S47JF0LVSzI/AAAAAAAAAyU/tOI53xXGshk/s320/CirclesMarileeSalvator2X.jpg" width="312" /></a></div><br />
Isn't this gorgeous although I don't know that the artist who made this, would be altogether that pleased at my use of such a word, to describe it. The artist; Marilee Salvator (USA) is an internet friend of mine. This piece is from the "Circles Series".<br />
The second image featured here is from a more recent series. in which she is combining inkjet and silkscreen. Quite a range of techniques are combined her including lithography, relief print and etching - as well as inkjet.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/S47Ch1kbfjI/AAAAAAAAAyE/ospuszPIEBg/s1600/outthekittensx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ZsvyLypypI/S47Ch1kbfjI/AAAAAAAAAyE/ospuszPIEBg/s320/outthekittensx.jpg" width="203" /></a></div> I have been in touch with Marilee, on and off since I first read an article about her on a web site called Myartspace, about 3 or 4 years ago. But I just think it's a great piece - I love how she has integrated the various techniques and of course as a lover of earth colours especially blue and green - it appeals very much to my own aesthetic. As well as being a committed and professional fine artist - Marilee is an educator in the field of printmaking. She is someone with her own authentic vision as well as having courage and style.<br />

One of the installations or series that was mentioned in the article ( interview ) I found to be very courageous as she was exploring issues concerning childhood sex abuse. using a range of visual elements e.g., child-like drawings, instructional 'sex-education' literature, gendered materials, and stains of menstrual fluid. <br />
Through the interplay of childlike themes and adult sexual imagery, Marilyn is seeking to throw light onto deep-seated confusion and scarring that sexual molestation can create.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Lucida Grande";">Visit Marilee's <a href="http://facstaff.bloomu.edu/msalvato/images.html">portfolio website</a> to see lots more beautiful accomplished work and there's a link on there to her blog as well as that interview I mentioned.</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I investigated this through both my pratical work and my thesis entitled 'Making the Invisble Visible: Exploring the Idea of Soul'. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">We each know what it feels like to be conscious, to be aware of ourselves and our experiences, but it is very difficult to explain. </span></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The concept that we humans are more than our body, that we possess an immortal soul is widely believed by many. My work explores the soul as something that is unique and inseparable from the individual as well as the notion that the basic constituents of soul/consciousness are raw feelings or sensations. </span></span></span><br />

</div>Adam Is a 23 year old art student from Wisconsin who is doing a lot of thinking and reading during the first year of his degree course in printmaking at art school. He is trying out lots of techniques including litho, silkscreen, woodcut and etching. He seems to like to combine techniques amongst which he has been trying out inkjet with etching. From reading <a href="http://lifeapoptosis.blogspot.com/">his blog</a> which I came across recently it would seem that he really loves participating in figure drawing from life.<br />

However because my ‘standby’ spinal surgery kicked in, for the end of June 09 I had to forgo my inclusion making hospitalization a priority – none the less I certainly was very interested to see what the other printmakers had produced.</div>

<span style="line-height: 26px;">Surprisingly out of fifty artists, only three decided to utilize digital print with traditional techniques for their edition, namely <a href="http://www.goodfeets.com/">Christopher Clark</a> (the co ordinator) , <a href="http://www.jenniferdanderson.com/">Jennifer D. Anderson</a> and my favorite piece where the tradigital works were concerned <a href="http://karo-design.blogspot.com/">Carolina Espinosa</a>. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 26px;">Participating artists were required to make fifty 3.5" x 3.5" prints. The idea being that each artist submit an edition of 50 prints and in turn receives a complete portfolio of 50 prints from all of the 50 individual artists.</span><br />
I have also included some others here that caught my eye by <a href="http://hardpressed-treetopstudio.blogspot.com/">Melody Knight Leary</a>, <a href="http://www.brettgrunig.com/">Brett Grunig</a>, <a href="http://www.artslant.com/global/artists/show/93300-rakesh-bani">Rakesh Bani</a>, and <a href="http://eportfolio.cfa.arizona.edu/gallery.php?portid=266">Katarzyna Cepek</a>.<br />
You can see all of the 50 tiny prints here <a href="http://lpe2009.blogspot.com/">http://lpe2009.blogspot.com/</a></div>
