Artist Statement

My current studio work explores and challenges the traditional perception of printmaking as a two-dimensional artform. My work combines bookbinding and paper art with traditional printmaking processes to explore the interplay of depth within my artworks. This fusion of old and new techniques provides a unique perspective of traditional processes.
