prints

A genuine "multiple -original" limited edition print is a design conceived by the artist for the expressed purpose of making an original print or impression by cutting, creating, or stenciling an image directly into a block, plate , stone, or other material (called matrix) and individually printing (hand-pulling) each impression in a limited edition of like multiples. Each impression (or proof) is considered an original, unique image, not a copy in the sense of a photo-mechanical reproduction or xerox.

Much care is given to making each impression in the edition meet a uniform standard of quality, but subtle differences will occur from one impression to the next- a hallmark of a truly hand printed multiple! Attention is also given to using archival materials- (inks, papers etc.)- to assure print longevity and quality. In some cases, as noted, hand made or other kinds of special papers are used.

This first grouping of prints dates mostly from the 1970's
