Lauren Print

This image began as a charcoal drawing from life. I then worked with the drawing using various Photoshop features to manipulate into a new image. I call this combined method analog/digital. The image exists virtually, and is realized only when printed out. Using a high quality printer and paper brings out the image to their best. The term Giclée has been used for such a print, but I want to emphasize that what I am doing here is different than reproducing a picture done in a traditional medium. There is the question of craftsmanship and uniqueness of such prints. Photoshop is so complex that using it might be considered virtual craftsmanship. It is true that every print is identical (except possibly its size - see below), so there is no notion of uniqueness, nor is there a notion of destroying the "plate" to guarantee a limited edition, as there is no way of assuring that every digital copy has been permanently deleted. However the artist's personal signature and numbering guarantees a finite edition. Finally. note that while the printed image size is variable, there is a limitation due to digital resolution.
