Lori the artist at Dean Dyment Studios, is a talented original print maker. She owns a press and creates linocuts, collographs, drypoints and monotypes.
Monotypes make up the majority of her work and are really just paintings printed onto paper. It's pretty neat if I don't say so myself :)
Lori Dean Dyment lives and creates her art out of Richmond, British Columbia , a suburb twenty minutes out of Vancouver. She was born and raised in Vancouver Canada. She attended Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design where where she fell in love with printmaking.
Look at this adorable cow -
This image is a one-of-a-kind hand pulled print onto archival Rives BFK paper. This is not a reproduction. This is considered a reductive monotype in that Lori rolls the whole plate with black ink and then “draws” into it with rags, cards, fingers, etc. Isn't this Amazing?!
To achieve the whites and grey tones she removes the ink. Gray would be some ink left behind... white would be no ink left behind. Once Lori feels the image is complete, sh lays a piece of dampened paper onto the plate and rolls it through her press. All of the ink transfers onto the paper and the image is in reverse! This will be the ONLY print she can pull. Once dry, she can hand color it with pastels if color is desired.
This is a neat way to create custom prints. The term collograph print means that the printing plate is created in layers with various materials. The plate is constructed from matboard, glue, varnish, x-acto cuts, and carborundum. The various textures are what creates the varying tones. The varnish lets the ink wipe clean (light areas) while the carborundum holds the ink onto the plate (dark areas).
Lori is such a talented woman! Such a unique and beautiful hand-crafted artistic talent she possesses.
Since these are actually handcrafted plates, they can be printed more than once. After the print is dried, Lori goes back and hand paints the print with water color paints. Since each print is handpainted the colors to vary slightly. This in MY oppinion is what makes it so special and so unique.
