Title<\/strong>:\u00a0Dissolution of Structure [Thought 2]<\/span><\/p>\n Year<\/strong>: 2020<\/span><\/p>\n Artist<\/strong>: Amy Redmond<\/p>\n Medium<\/strong>: Monotype print + letterpress printed type<\/p>\n Size<\/strong>: 8 x 10 inches<\/p>\n The impact of a global health crisis and quarantine is profound, forcing adjustment in how we maintain connection and identity in the absence of physical presence. Existing in that space is the need and potential to Within the cracks of heartbreak and loss are the openings for re-examining priorities and imagining a new path forward. What\u2019s being said \u2014 and isn\u2019t? What needs<\/em> to be said, and how do we express it when words aren\u2019t strong enough?<\/p>\n As I untangle my emotions surrounding the perceived and actual dissolution of structure, I\u2019ve doubled down on the use of manual techniques in my printmaking. I\u2019m drawn to manipulating metal and wood type through hand-inking, utilizing monotype techniques to capture ephemeral conversations written in the ink. Letterforms are pushed beyond their boundaries as words, transformed layer by layer into a visual expression designed to carry the weight of their complexity.<\/p>\n Each print in the Thoughts on the Dissolution of Structure<\/em> series is unique. I applied ink directly to a flat acrylic plate with a toothbrush, writing in each layer with the end of the toothbrush. Words were also added in silver ink by letterpress printing metal type over the first layer of ink. All work was done with a Vandercook 4 cylinder press, on cotton paper.<\/p>\n Amada Press<\/a> is the private letterpress studio of Seattle visual artist and designer Amy Redmond.
