Artist Statement for Gini Holmes
|
|
|
Gini Holmes is a traditionally trained print maker (lithography) who has turned to more experimental means by which to create her images.
Born in Long Beach, CA, she received her BFA from Stanford University in lithography and painting. She received her Masters of Science in Visual Studies from Mass. Institute of Technology in experimental graphics.
As an artist in residence at MIT, she began working with collegue/artist Tom Norton, doing an extensive amount of research in Electrographic Printing using a variety of copiers. This research became a full-time passion when her right arm was crushed in a printing accident.
Her Mixed Media Electrographic Transfer Monoprints are created using three types of copiers, including a XEROX Standard Haloid camera, one of only a few format copiers in the US. These large format prints often incorporate handmade papers and 3 dimensional surfaces.
In 1995, Ms. Holmes began manipulating her images in her computer, producing giclee prints on handmade paper.
After several years of physical therapy, she returned to drawing, using thick crayons as her medium. Her drawings are a completion of a circle, bringing her computer explorations back to realization through a very basic medium - crayon. Since the drawings take quite a bit of time to complete, she uses them as "beginnings" for further exploration, once again through the computer.
Gini is now working with dye-sublimation transfers onto fabric and tile surfaces. She has completed public art pieces for the city of Redding's Aquatic Center and the YMCA's new facilities, also in Redding.
On a smaller scale, she creates specialty shoji screens from her drawings as well as tile commissions for private clients.
