"I make a print because in using the metal, the wood, and all the other materials available, I can express things that I can not express by other means. In other words, I am interested in printmaking, not as a means of reproduction but as an original, creative medium. Even if I can only pull one print from each of my prints, I would still make them." -- John Blair Mitchell, writing about teaching printmaking to students, c.1990's
"Art lies hidden in nature, he who can wrest it from her possesses art." |
