2.25 International Print Exchange
Summer 2011
This Exchange is over. Thank you for participating.
The 2.25 Print Exchange came about during a class I was taking from Candace Nicol in 4 color etching. We began learning the technique with very small plates measuring 2.25in x 2.25in square so that we understood the fundamentals of registration, CMYK color and how aquatint and etchings looked slightly different. I was amazed at how expressive my fellow students were within such a small area! Truly it would be a nice challenge to invite other artists to do a similar exercise. After many months of assistance from Candace, research, and networking the 2.25 International Print Exchange was born and was hung in the Oxboo Press Gallery for the month of July in 2011 during the local celebration known as Art Town.

2.25 International Print Exchange is now on permanent display at Truckee Meadows Community College where it can be viewed in the President's office. Many thanks to Candace Nicol, this exchange and the new home of 2.25 would not have been possible without her extensive assistance.
A Stitch in Mine: My print for 2..25
Lately a lot of my imagery has included organs, skeletons, and other various body-parts coupled with strange things like ships, birds, flowers and trees. This new work has me headed in a direction of self-identification and exploration and seems to be my attempt at understanding not only people's motivations but how they relate to their environments (social, natural, etc.) The piece I created for 2.25 is called "A Stitch in Mine." The print features a human heart in delicate red intaglio surrounded by windows of different colors and a 5 small blue stitches on fragile green-tinted Kitikata paper. The title uses the play-on-words "a stitch in time saves nine" which communicates the necessity of preventative or immediate response to damage rather than waiting until the damage is so severe that it takes more time and resources to solve the problem and could end up seriously hurting the object in need of mending. The paper and print are both delicate, but the layering and folding of them and the application of ink made this print stronger than I had expected.
