ARTIST'S STATEMENT
"I have worked in the painting field for over 8 years. I am impressed by how printmaking as a different media changed my way of creating art. Printmaking is different because by using this media, one can produce multiple prints base on the same image. I utilized the repeatability of printmaking to venture into collage and installation, to reinforce an image by altering the printing, overlapping, or juxtaposing of one plate several times. I deconstructed and reconstructed in order to broaden the meaning of the individual images and blur the border of abstract and representational element in my work. This allowed me to contemplate the change manifested by my physical dislocation by physically changing the print."
