Studio Journal: William Kentridge Show, Boston, MA

Informing my sugar lifts in the previous post was the William Kentridge show at Mass Art in Mass.



Kentridge's prints speak to a free and strongly passionate need to create art. As I look at them, I feel compelled to want to express myself, seeing how his techniques can create an image that also works well with my own ideas.
The textures, strong lines, intense passages of multiple printmaking techniques create a whole world of surfaces, surroundings, and depth. My sugar lifts are abstract, but are based on an urge to create a dark strong powerful line, like those in Kentridge's pieces.
