I began this work during a printmaking residency, creating monotypes on a large scale printing press. Working large was new to me and inadvertently the paper became creased under the press. What I first considered an imperfection, became the basis for an entire body of work as I embraced unpredictability as part of my process. The cracks and creases are spontaneously formed as the paper becomes compressed under pressure from the press and interacts with the inked surface which I create by deconstructing the textile fragments that I use as my printing matrix, either pulling threads out of the woven structure or opening the weave of the cloth with my fingers.
