The expanded print as vessel for exploration

The primary objective of this written thesis is to use illustrate how experimentation and exploration direct and inform my artistic practice within the discipline of printmaking. By using an interdisciplinary approach that seeks to integrate attributes of sculpture, new media and installation art, my work as a printmaker becomes enriched and enlivened through experimental techniques and processes. Through the exploration of form, space and scale, the imagery that comprises this thesis work questions the role of the viewer and challenges his or her awareness of their own body relative to the physical environment
