Workspace Program Resident 1992
As a painter and printmaker, Michele Godwin combined the two media she works in to create a series of unique monotypes in handmade paper. Each piece is first pulp-painted in pigmented linen using squeeze bottles and a series of mylar stencils, then dried under restraint control shrinkage, and finally printed on top with water-based inks, using a wood block in our platen press. Drawing on top of the base sheet; the slurped pulp lines resemble layered brushwork, creating paper that has a raised effect, like a bas-relief.
