Next up, Pleased to announce PrintCamp 2018 participant, Ann Piper On her work: I'd like to work with monoprints/monotypes, mostly. At a previous residency/WSW session, I used a trace monotype method to create the ground for an etching on copper. I would like to continue to experiment with this, in addition to making traditional monotypes. What she will be doing at PrintCamp: The imagery I am currently working with in the studio deals with the figure in \"mindscapes.\" (i.e. Nightmare with Hairdo (#1 in images) I would like to push my ideas in this vein by exploring the imagery in conjunction with the printmaking process. l'd make many different variations for each mindscape, layering the surface with multiple passes through the press, and allowing the freedom of uncertainty to expand the possibilities for new compositions and idea overlap. I have been a participant in at least five residencies, both long and short term, and I have always found the experience to be incredibly energizing. I try to bring as much positive energy and enthusiasm as I can to each residency, in order to help foster a good group dynamic. I also respect other peoples' working processes and need for space. Skill Share Presentation: I can give a presentation of my work and influences over the years, and talk about how I began with printmaking and why it's still so important to me.
