I chose Reed Danziger because her work looked crazy and intricate from the moment I saw it. And the closer you examine it, the more complicated it becomes. I respect and love the layering work she does. All of her prints are layers upon layers of hand-worked monotypes. No matter whether Danziger decides to use graphite, ink, watercolor, oil, silkscreen, gouache*, shellac* in a given layer the end result is flawless. One of the printing studios she worked at described her work as”worlds within themselves.” I think this is the perfect description and/or summation of her work. Pay special attention to the titles of her work as well…they are telling to say the least.
*gouache is a method of painting using opaque pigments ground in water and thickened with a gluelike substance
*shellac is a lac resin melted into thin flakes, typically used to make a varnish
