Cyndi Wish

Printmaker, photographer

 

I fell in love with mixing colours.  When I work in the print shop I begin with only the basics – red, yellow, blue, black, and white – and since 1991 have been on a mission to never mix the same colour twice.

Similarly my favorite way to work with printmaking is to take a vocabulary of images, stencils, and matrices and to arrange them on paper so that they build multiple layers of associative meaning.  In this way, I use printmaking more as a way to vary repetition, rather than to make uniform multiples.  Eventually a visual metaphor will emerge.  I think often about a famous quote from Jean Cocteau which says, “The greatest masterpiece in literature is only a dictionary out of order.”

Conceptually I am happiest when I feel like my work combines quirky with transcendental.  Like when you laugh at something you are not sure you are supposed to.
