Printmaking constitutes a performative art form by an oscillation between different factors: between figuration and abstraction of the image; between the (possible) figuration of the line and the embedded forces of the material; between sensory craftsmanship and awareness of the material’s properties. The printed image cannot be adequately defined as x but better be understood as a constant tremor, a perpetual movement that weaves through diverse entities.
