Information I walked away with from bootcamp was an edition varie (if I 
spelled it right).  We had Jen from Victoria BC in our group and she is a 
very talented printmaker, who unfortunately is not online so we can not talk 
with her, nor can I share her work.  She did a wonderful hanga wood cut with 
a splatter.  Well splattering ink on a plate goes different each time, so 
each plate varied from the other, just a bit.  She also likes the idea that 
each piece is unique and does not push so very hard on the concept that each 
print must be identical to another in a series, so she does a lot of varied 
editiions, from the same plate.  They really do not differ all that much, as 
the plate and image are still the same. I had a thought to run a 2 color 
plate with a splatter for the exchange, thus it would be a varied edition. I 
think as artists we need to encourage pushing the limits and experimenting 
as well as keeping within the bounds of wood and lino, etc.  We already told 
Charles his medium density fiberboard is OK.  To me if it is carved like a 
wood or lino cut than it would seem we can push our materials or processes a 
bit and try for interesting woodcut type prints that do not offend. 
Monotypes are not carved prints and one of a kind flexes too far, it must be 
a series pulled from the same image, colors the same and such.  Of course we 
are human and there will be variatiions, that is the beauty of art.  As for 
not having done many exchanges, well i am just learning woodblock myself and 
have not done many exchanges and here I am coordinating one, Baren is 
inspiring for me. With the addition of Linda Hornberger and Horacio ( I need 
your last name) we now have 19 in 14a.  Now I  need to review your emails 
for joining and make certian the order is right, I am at fault not thinking 
we would over fill and at first not taking great care with date and time, so 
a revised list will come out soon. Those not in 14 have first spaces in 14a, 
so far everyone is in that has asked.

Subject: [Baren 18558] Gauguin woodcuts 

If you ever get the chance to stop into the Museum of Fine Arts in
Boston, there is in a small gallery downstairs devoted to printmaking in
which they have one of Gauguin's blocks on display in a vitrine with one
of the prints.

This is definitely one of those cases where the artist had to do his best
with what materials he could acquire -- as Julio mentioned Gauguin was
salvaging wood from packing crates and whatever else he could get his
hands on.  His marks in the wood appear rather crude, but the result when
printed is quite expressive and interesting -- a nice match for the
somewhat rough surfaces of the raw material.

Regards,
James Mundie

Hi all Bareners,  I just got back to all kinds of stuff going on the Baren
Forum.  Wow so many unread messages.   I received both the Large Prints
Exchange package and the #13 - Music one.  They are wonderful.  Wonderful
coordinating job Barbara and Rudolf you are a true master.  What a challenge
the large prints are to collate and get out.  Wonderful.  I'm off again for
a bit and can't wait to see the incredible posts to come.  Great people on
this forum.  Thanks for keeping it exciting.  Congratulations Sarah and
Pete.  Hope to see Pete's show if I can. Next year in KC.  Bea

Baren,
I am doing the tags for the baren show here in Beaverton and Portland OR and
I need to know the city and state for Monica Bright and Kat Pukas....I hate
to have you living in limbo here!
It looks so nice framed, much better that I thought it would. We used
plexi-glas and frame clips, so it has a very clean contemporary look. I
tried to get everyone it, but it was just impossible. So sorry if you are
not on the list. I did my best with the space we have available here. I put
#9 in three frames, sort of like a quilt. It looks amazingly good that way.
Thanks,
Barbara

If your name is on this list, you have work in the exhibit..I will probaly
add a few more names in the morning, I am still working here at getting all
the tags done.

July 1-31 2002

Yes, but, doesn't this mean you must use also watercolours and make it japa
nese way.

So, there could be something for western oil based too? And why not wood pr
inted like intaglio.
At least it could be very nice to do it only with wood (or, I do it anyway,
 but also others would)

By the way, Barbara, I read somewhere in your webpages about using release 
agent with monotypes. Is it some kind of detergent?
