I'm currently teaching a six-week monotyope printmaking workshop at the Lower East Side Printshop (in midtown). For the third class artists made images by putting found materials through the press…leaves, string, bits of plastic, lace, steel wool, sandpaper, paper cut outs; whatever can be run though an etching press without destroying it. This group of artists have been particularly interested in integrating non-traditional papers into their images.
Susan manipulating materials she will be running through the press.
Jason and his little pile of shapes.
Jeff about to run all kinds of stuff though the press.

This was a wonderful event that I feel honored to have been a part of. The theater was packed with a rowdy crowd and many of the videos screened were smart and hilarious. My 30-second video Red Light Kiss was screened. It is a sci-fi, time travel public service announcement inspired by Chris Marker's La jetée.
