Erika Radich These prints are all monotypes produced in the last year. The abstract subject matter reveals solid shapes made from torn paper and flying forms from printed netting, both applied in many layers to create volume and density. The desert colors are quiet, slowly revealing images. There is an incremental crafting in the building of each work. Tension, space, delicacy evolve into a form. Torn paper becomes rock, yet stays translucent and mocks weight. There is interplay between reality, gravity, stability ...and transcendence, vapor, lightness. The process relies on intuition reacting to variables as the images evolve through layers of carefully chosen shapes and colors. Erika Radich has worked in and around visual arts all her life. Although, much of her professional life has been spent in arts administration, she has maintained a practice in drawing and printmaking throughout her adult years. In the last few years, Radich has returned to the studio more fully, working part time at Zea Mays Printmaking in Florence, MA. Monotype, Collagraph, and Collage are preferred media.
