"Attached to my invitation to do the Freund Visiting Artist Lecture at Washington University in St. Louis was another invitation to make monoprints with Island Press, which is nested within that school. My plan was to compress the process into one day in which I would paint onto plates to be printed onto digital images I sent in advance. The images were snapshots of streets in my industrial neighborhood that I could augment, vandalize and project into with the improvisatory mark-making that monoprinting is so good at capturing."
