About the Element
Uub 112 is a heavy metal that only exists in the lab. It has a circular
molecular structure and is presumed radioactive should elements exist
together.
About the Print
I loved the idea of
"Heavy Metal" as it is a kind of music I realy like - to the dismay of
my adult children. I googled heavy metal images, got lots of guitars,
which was the basis for my print. I used the molegular structure on the
guitar. I used a solar plate. I initially printed on neat silver paper,
but the ink hasn't dried yet. I also used up my last intaglio solar
plate before I realized that I had not reversed the letters and
numbers. So this is a relief solar plate with which I have not had
experience.
About the Printmaker
I am a printmaker
and fiber artist currently residing in Indianapolis. I got my BFA in
printmaking at the University of Michigan. I worked nights in the
Coronary Intensive Care Unit to pay for my education, and I loved every
moment of art school and living in Ann Arbor, MI. I have a studio at
the Indianapolis Art Center where I teach and head up the fiber
department.
