Monotypes

Stephanie Damoff

What interests me about printing is forms, whether of nature or of mundane objects, given in ink to the paper. Chance and layering result in unique compositions. The motion of the ink itself takes transcendent shape. Accident, both happy and unhappy, definitely have a hand.

My hand prints are driven and inspired by everyday phenomena and by my handmade paper. They are not so very unlike the mundane landscapes I photograph.
