Statement
This print was created by arranging and altering scanned images of my hand-printed etchings in the computer. I decided on a final composition and transferred it onto a photosensitive letterpress plate that was then inked and printed on an antique proof press. The network of lines in this abstract image might initially appear chaotic, like a disjointed map or senseless diagram. But amidst the chaos a suggestion of structure and order emerges. These directional lines can serve as a metaphor for the various connections, opportunities and experiences we’ve gained during our time at UConn. The print reflects the beauty I see in the networking process – whether it involves collaborating in the studio, participating in student activities, or attending educational events and gatherings. Every individual has experienced UConn differently, but we are all moving forward into the future together.
