ALEXANDRA ALVARADO

Artist statement:

Throughout the duration of this program I have experimented with printmaking, an art form new to me. I discovered a penchant for line work and a dark tonality, which fits perfectly in drypoint work. I was originally going to make a narrative book with prints, using zinc plates. Due to COVID-19, the process was disrupted and I had to improvise without the access to a printing press. This piece I have created is a study of drypoint itself, printed by hand. My tendency to photograph portraits is reflected in the pieces.
