Disordered Order by Beth Dorsey
Monoprint, relief, drypoint, stenciling
About the artist:
I am a printmaker, my imagery evolves through the process of printing, a synergy resulting from the layering of images, marks, and colors.
The work explores the tension between intentionality and happenstance, often starting with domestic and industrial elements such as blinds, woven scraps, building facades, windows, or corrugated material. The work starts with a plan, the known, often leading to unknown or unanticipated results. The process of printing introduces chance variations and new elements that are mined to develop the image and create a series. Even with careful planning, plans often go awry. How we build on these irregularities and unintended outcomes result in works that are more engaging and creative than the original plan.
