Precisement (The Foundation Work)
“The process provides the insights: Drawing with ink and printmaking are artistic techniques that demand a high level of concentration. I constantly need to make the right decisions during the entire creative process. Every step is like a commitment—once a line is drawn or a plate is placed into the printing press, there’s no turning back. Each following result or intermediate stage consequences from the previous action.”
