The Yin and Yang of Printmaking

One Yin/Yang dissection of printmaking is treat the image creation as the feminine, and the techniques as the masculine. Because the masculinity of printmaking is so unique, compared to other mediums, the images are predetermined to be different from those mediums.

There is a certain kind of femininity only goes well with certain kind of masculinity. Printmaking’s femininity has its own masculinity, and we need to be aware of that.

At the end of the day, why do I use printmaking to make an image? Why don’t I use painting to make the same image? Is there any differences?

Why am I in the printshop all the time, but not in the painting studio? We need to think about that.
