I began to be more playful with the role of the edges of the picture format; some shapes seemed to slip under the edge, others overlapped the edge, and still others came right up to the edge, but were held inside, as if by the sides of a box.

The visual "pulls" of the ovals and weight of the circles, was increased by allowing some shapes freedom to move out of the picture format.

Counterpose3, Screenprint, 13 x 14", 2004, ed. of 9 on 2-ply archival bristol,  The lines (reminescent of my very early work in the 1960's) became like tight wires ----paths for the ovals to travel on.This piece posed more technical problems than previous prints, and I was having fun playing with the "picture plane".

The technique I choose is closely tied to the work that comes from it. In an experimental way for me, this image was designed and drawn in Adobe Illustrator, making use of the powerful tools for drawing and modifying shapes-----individual stencils were then printed out separately on black/clear film and then transferred to a silkscreen printing frame as a beginning point for hand-pulled screenprints.

This work was included in the 2009 Delta National Juried Print Exhibit at Arkansas State University, as well as the 29th ArtLINK National Juried Printmaking Show, Fort Wayne, IN

One of the exciting things about making prints, is having the ability to make changes and print different stages of image development. I like to work with a balance of planning and spontanaety. When working on a series that extends over several years, familiar themes begin to exert themselves on the current body of work, ever widening the circle of inclusiveness, including the rich textures, that are so familiar to my earlier etching and intaglio prints.
