I am still pursuing the idea of simplifying my studio and printmaking process.
I started by cleaning my space and limiting my tools. This helps to clear my mind and start fresh.
Once I get printing it is a challenge to keep the tools and space clear and clean. But I think that the time spent staying organized may create a fresh perspective.
When I first started gelatin printmaking, I started with simple stencils like threads and circles. These stencils still appeal to me. The “boundary” of these limited stencils open the way for a new level of abstract design.
Ask yourself:
- Have you wondered away from your roots?
- Could benefit from cleaning your workspace or tools?
- Does the idea of simplifying appeal to you?
