portrait print one

I have been working a lot recently on my etching press, thinking about people, the uniqueness of expression and human spaces, where people work and what they do. I have found a great deal of fascination in the concept of an 'open studio.' Artists, designers, craftspeople and artisans are studious in their pursuits mainly behind closed doors. I wish to investigate through the medium of print exactly what those spaces offer, what curiosities exist within and how the magic of making work happens. In the coming months I will be gathering research and compiling a 'maker-ambassador' database for SHARING the MAKING. I will be collecting artist and maker interviews and also crystalizing prints to document the unique maker-spaces.
