Anne Moore, printmaker

"Someone said that a coincidence is God remaining anonymous. I'm pretty sure that was the case when I discovered printmaking in 1991. Needing one final class to complete the requirements for my B.A. in another field, I "happened" to take a printmaking class. I knew nothing about the genre but it wasn't long before I was hooked. I fell in love with printmaking". Anne Moore

Dreaming about a proper printing studio

Ho he trobat pel pinterest, una artista de San Francisco. Quins espais. Dona gust.

Sirima Sataman of ink.paper.plate Press moved into this studio in San Francisco’s Dogpatch District just one year ago, right before her son left for college. She wanted a space all to herself where she could make a mess and wake up at any hour to work out an idea. When she found this raw industrial space, her biggest challenge was storage and separating personal living space from the public workspace where she makes art and teaches classes. The solution was putting nearly every piece of furniture on wheels, so the space is extremely flexible. Sirima also built open storage systems, allowing her and her students to easily find supplies. The workbenches are topped with glass and double as palettes for mixing ink or paint or working with solvents. (Sirima has a Rabbit Air purifier that filters the VOCs created from paints and solvents.) Sirima is also the building’s “fairy dogmother,” and she has doggy visitors throughout the day. Her most frequent guest is her neighbor’s dog, Cascarabbias. Thanks,Sirima! And thank you to Kara Brodgesell for the lovely photographs. — Amy Azzarito

Gabriella Locci, gravats de grans dimensions

Fortuny gravador, proves d'estat

Molt interessant per als que estem familiartizats amb els àcids aquesta petita exposició de gravats de Fortuny que inclou primeres proves d'estat, i vas veient l'evolució de les línies, de la menjada, la incoroporació de l'aiguatinta... El gran talent de dibuixant del Marià posat a fer ombres i rascant els cels amb la línia. Em fa pensar quina mena de punxons tant fins deurien fer servir ell o el Rembrandt per obternir aquest traç tan sutil. Una mostra d'estampes curiosa per veure el procés, i entendre aquesta tècnica, tan desconeguda encara, del gravat calcogràfic.

Sheilaclarkson, printing ever since

Trobo a etsy aquesta noia anglesa. M'agraden els seus boscos, eteris, ho fa amb aiguantinta, li queden genials. En el gravat es veu la gran gama de negres que existeix.

I studied Fine Art at degree level, and have loved printmaking ever since. I make woodcuts,etchings and drawings based on the beauty of light and water in nature. I particularly like chinese ink drawings, their directness, energy and ability to capture the essence or spirit of the subject.
