For my exchange 9 print I'm doing the one I tried to do a long while
back--a nun is having a vision of a wolf.  There is a poem I wrote years
ago that I always wanted to illustrate and now I'm doing it for Exchange 9.

Ray,
I have a new computer and can't figure out how to move my addresses, so 
apologise about sending this to the list. I have #8 drying in the 
blotters so will be on time or if late only a day or so. Hope everyone 
else is done also. What a great feeling to be done. We seem to put a lot 
of pressure on ourselves don't we?

beautiful paper.

Subject: [Baren 13145] Help please 

I met a very nice lady last week who is a fantastic "non-representational"
(her words) painter.  She has always wanted to try printmaking, but hasn't
due to the fact that all the print work she sees is "representational".  I
want to direct her to some sites to see work done is this venue.  Any hints?

Try our very own Ruth Leaf's web site:
http://www.ruthleaf.com
Awesome abstract work in the woodcuts section.

Other "lesser" known artists that were/are excellent printmakers in
non-representational subjects: Picasso, Miro, Judy Chicago, Ron Adams, Jim
Dine, A. Yunkers, C. Romano, just for starters off the top of my noggen.
Actually printmaking and abstraction go hand in hand in the modern world
because of the spontaneity and variety of effects that are possible. Search
for publications from Tamarind or Crown-Point Press for a wide variety of
non-representational printmaking output.

Good luck,
Maria

I believe I printed 86 of "Tongue Tied".  I had trouble with the black ink 
drying though so some of the prints are a little smudgy.  It has been great 
to be in this exchange I really love getting my mail.

Speaking of Ruth Leaf; I had some extra time in my hands this weekend while
waiting on the kids at the library. I found
Ruth's book on Intaglio Printmaking (1976) and sat down for a good hour of
getting acquainted.  Wonderful book, great reading and terrific prints
(love those trees !). Highly recommended.  New York resident ?  {;-)

Maria, I think some of your very own Out-of-the-Wood prints may qualify for
"non-representational"....there is a certain
abstractism that comes thru when letting the wood "speak",  don't you agree
?

Re wood engraving video, have not heard of any such animal on this side of
the ocean, perhaps an endangered species ?
Maybe Andy English in England knows wether such thing exists ?

Dan, great news about the August show for #9, let me know if I can be of
any help.......

More snakes ready for updating to the website, will wait for todays mail to
see what new surprises are slithering across
my humble abode. Thanks to all.

All the best........Julio

exchanges.   There have been some wonderful non-rep pieces contributed in the
past.  Ray

Crown point press has a good web site.  www.crownpoint.com For a wonderful
abstract woodblock, check out Frankenthaler's "Cedar Hill" which she did via
them.

Dan....here's some work by another barener, Carol Lyons.  Carol is a
well-known & published watercolor artist in the New York area who I believe
came later into printmaking.  Carol's current creative process is quite
different from the representational imaging that most of us create. She has
also worked with a process type called "decalcomania" which is
closely tied to Surrealism.

 Have your friend check these images based on a square-format series and
possibly contact Carol for more discussion:

Put Mary Tallmountain's poem, The Last Wolf, on the Baren site.  And I hope
Gayle will put on her poem with an image of her #9 print.

My tree book says aspen is  "straight grained, fine and uniform textured, 
light in weight...weak, soft and moderately stiff, moderately low in 
resistance to shock, and shrinks on drying."

Hope this helps.
