LUMETYPE PRINTMAKING |
“I came at this process as
a painter and found that the light emitting paint behaved interestingly and
beautifully. Layering and brushwork translated in surprising ways to the prints.
What I found more challenging was creating line. I set this as my challenge
and worked diligently at it for several months with mixed results. Ultimately
the most economical of means worked best. My prints displayed here were done
with a pen and a nib and thin light emitting paint. I love the soft quality
of the line. It’s reminiscent of graphine, charcoal or even thread. Looking
around the room and having experienced a ton of different outcomes myself, I
am certain this process has a million and one possibilities. There is life and
excitement in the potentiality of the Lumetype.”
