One
day this Romanian-French Canadian artist walked into her printmaking
studio and picked up her work gloves. Instead of pulling them onto
her hands before she started inking her printing plate, as we would
expect, as she had done every other day, she placed the gloves onto
the plate and ran them through the press!
The
gloves themselves became the design! Her prints of her work gloves
turned out to look almost like x-rays of the gloves.
A
pair of shorts.
A
shirt.
Goodwin's
prints were created in the 1960s, but this artist
created a variety of works, using a variety of media, in a career
that spanned decades. Born in Betty Roodish in Montreal on this date
in 1923, Goodwin did collages and assemblages. She sculpted, she
drew, she painted. She did printmaking and etching. She also did some
installation art, which is when artists create three-dimensional
works that are site-specific, such as installing huge forms viewers
must walk among in a museum gallery.
Be
inspired by Goodwin...
- I read that Goodwin's ideas came from clusters of photographs, objects, and drawings she put up on the walls of her studio. We can all benefit from this idea; start collecting pictures and objects that speak to you, that intrigue you, and draw from them (literally and figuratively).
- Experiment with printmaking.
