Francis Fahnestock: capstone
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2015) Fahnestock, Francis, artist
The artist's statement: My body of work focusses on creating visual relationships of shape and color. The interaction of shapes and the space around them is a primary focus of many of these works. This is to try to bring attention to the norm of a rectangular composition. The deeply etched lines and aggressive marks of the intaglio pieces embrace process and mark making that is unique to printmaking. The range of value and marks creates visual interest without depicting any particular image. The non-objective nature of these pieces is to emphasize the importance of the shapes and their composition rather than an objective representation. These pieces also embrace the printmaking process and try to allow randomness and chaos found in certain processes in both intaglio and lithography. This work reflects curiosity in process through mark, presentation, and repetition.
