A selection of Mark Graver’s digital prints made from 2015 on-wards. The works here are all conceived as digital prints, made with a computer and printed in small editions on professional archival inkjet printers.
The works usually start out as a series of photographs which are manipulated using computer software. They are usually made in layers in much the same way as multi-plate etchings are.
I see strong links technically and conceptually between traditional printmaking, collage and digital printmaking that also connects the process to video (film) and sound (music). They are all collage techniques in a way, with the different elements layered from back to front or in linear seriality.
Most of the works form parts of on-going series that relate to particular themes, concepts and ideas. A more detailed account and background information on specific bodies of work can be found here
