Statement: My series of monotype prints focus on a wide range of mark making in a monochromatic style. My goal is to communicate the idea of a visual langue, highlighted by the diversity of my mark making. I attempt to present part of this series three-dimensionally, as a way to showcase how the individual marks interact with one another.

As someone who has always preferred working in black and white, printmaking was an ideal medium for me. Monotypes, specifically, were a way for me to explore the velvety blacks unique only to printmaking.
