Sabra Field's Online Art Gallery | Collection of Woodcut Prints
Description
IRIS prints begin with a prototype created by the artist. This can be an elaborate painting or a woodcut, or simply a few scraps of paper and a concept. I usually begin with a collage combined with gouache. This prototype is scanned into Adobe Photoshop. At this point the changes possible are limitless, which can be daunting but is also thrilling. I generally use this stage to fine-tune the prototype, although I may also make radical additions and deletions. There is amazing freedom in creating IRIS prints.
The next step is transporting the digital information to the IRIS printer, a machine with a drum onto which Somerset paper is taped. For about an hour the drum rotates and tiny nozzles smaller than a hair squirt millions of droplets of ink onto the paper. They overlap and saturate so that the end result has an effect much like a woodcut: they glow in a way off-set prints cannot do.
IRIS prints are not any more vulnerable to sunlight than other works of art. IRIS inks now have a long life now versus those once used. My IRIS prints are also finished with a transparent ultra violet protective coating.
