Artist statement:
Monotype is a printmaking technique that involves drawing or painting on a non-absorbent surface, then transferring the image to paper using a press.
I am currently exploring themes of nature exposure and body dissonance. The prints are an investigation of my memory in nature, specifically claiming natural spaces as a big bodied person.
