Artist Statement:
My print work is often about
humanity's self-image in
relation to animals and our
perceptions of animal life and
personality. I often deal with
taxidermy as the subject
matter, usually poor quality,
often humerous, taxidermy. As
a photographer I have evolved
into a printmaker who works
exclusively in PHOTOGRAVURE. I
am also interested in
letterpress and book arts,
gravure artistamps, and other
forms of "matrix art". I will
add more detail here later,
but in the meantime, complete
artist's statements about
bodies of work such as
"Bestiarum Excerptum" and
"Locomotive Torpor" can be
found on my website at
www.deadcat.ca
My wife and I have just
written a book on the
photogravure process: "Copper
Plate Photogravure:
Demystifying the Process".
More information can be found
at www.photogravure.ca or
