In this episode Miranda speaks with Ellen Heck. Ellen is an artist whose brain is matched by her artistic brawn. Her prints are beautiful, contemplative portraits of women as well as abstracted colour field studies she creates using a technique of woodcut and drypoint. She is someone who thinks deeply about her process and product and, just like your humble host, received her BA in philosophy so we get into the nature of identity and how it relates to printmaking and do a deep dive into some printmaker’s printmaker talk about the technical side of her practice.
