Ewoud, all good topics. I favor the poem one as it intersects both our lists.

Harkening back to our Jedi master Dave, how about this quote?

Beautiful web site, Amanda -- and WOW! REASONABLE rates for press-time --
I can't believe you don't have a long line of printers waiting to take
their turn! My favorite image:

Best to you always!

I like all three of those ideas! I especially like the Andy Warhol quote-
that could be anything: nature as a machine, a machine as a machine, Andy
Warhol as a machine, no machines but machine qualities... I like it!

Yes. Mike Lyon, our supposed "Exchange Manager" knows when those galleries
will be on line. It's his job to take care of that. He's scanned about
3/4 of #19, I hear, and already has images of #20 ready to go up. I know
that he's just been preoccupied with a bunch of pressing other stuff lately
and has fallen a wee-tiny-little-bit behind. If I run into him this week,
I'll try to remind him to get right to work on it, but he's sorta flakey
and you never know what kind of reaction you might get, or even if
anybody's 'home' up there! Most of the time it seems like the wheel is
turning, but the hamster's on vacation...

Best,

Mike

Send Message: To this poster

I am planning on participating in the next exchange.
Themes that have piqued my interest so far:

1. "I want to be a machine." -- Warhol aside, I think
this is a fantastic theme. I think that every print
would be wildly different, but that there would still
be a nice group cohesiveness to the exchange. It's a
lovely little sentence.

2. landscapes - good solid theme. everyone loves a
landscape!

3. a poem is a great idea, providing the proper poem
is selected. It would have to evoke a variety of
possible images, without being too specific in its
physical descriptions. Yeats, anybody?

The poem theme could be left open so each person can choose the poet
of their liking. I know i would be leaning toward poe.

The warhol quote is not a bad idea either.

Welcome, Ewoud!

I think that the Warhol quote opens up wonderful possibilities!
It would be a great exchange!

A poem by Keats can never be wrong, can it ?

'To Autumn' by: John Keats (1795-1821)

Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun:
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the mossed cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimmed their clammy cells.

Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy store?
Sometimes whoever seeks abroad may find
Thee sitting careless on a granary floor,
Thy hair soft-lipped by the winnowing wind;
Or on a half-reaped furrow sound asleep,
Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twinèd flowers:
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cider-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings hours by hours.

Where are the songs of Spring? Ay, where are they?
Think not of them, thou hast thy music too,--
While barrèd clouds bloom the soft-dying day,
And touch the stubble-plains with rosy hue;
Then in a wailful choir the small gnats mourn
Among the river sallows borne aloft
Or sinking as the light wind lives or dies;
And full-grown lambs loud bleat from hilly bourn;
Hedge-crickets sing; and now with treble soft
The red-breast whistles from a garden-croft;
And gathering swallows twitter in the skies.

With this piece of poetry we can prepare ourseld for the summer to end
embrace Romantic
way of looking. The poem leaves space for any kind of interpretation.

I want to thank David for posting the essay by Milne.

His considerations are timeless...

In the present political arena, in particular, often the questions
arise, "Am I doing enough? Is what I create having a useful effect on
the world?". Yes, absolutely.

The answer always comes back to me as soon as I experience someone's
art, be it in a book, a gallery, a public art installment in a park or
building or a tag viewed on the side of a building. That experience
reaches all who exist, conscious or not, good or bad it has an effect.
In some way art touches the hearts and minds of all who experience it.
For me, personally...When I experience someone's art, or the creation
of my own, I feel joy that I am alive and awake, thinking
consciously...and I am grateful. Knowing this is what keeps me aligned
and moving forward each day.

I like this. Immediate possibilities for me. Hi, other printers. This may as
well be my introduction. I'm a fairly new print artist, having only done some
lino cuts and two woodblocks. I have a letterpress and am currently printing a
small edition book of poetry, which I've illustrated with lino cuts. I've
decided to do a reduction cut for a fold out illustration in the middle. I've
done one study for it, but, no doubt, have much to learn in the process.

My interests are writing poetry and fiction, photography,
videography/multi-media/installation, book arts, and drumming.

I will be updating my website to a much snazzier version in the next few
months, but in the meantime you can visit www.caveworkspress.com

I heard about Baren forum through Sharen Linders, who is also on the Letpress
list I belong to and a great person, I might add.

In kind,

Julie Russell-Steuart

I still like some kind of tribute to a printmaker influential in our
development. I don't know who the non-artists we would be striving to
appeal to would be. Aren't we all artists? And surely everyone has
someone who has influenced them in their printmaking, one way or
another.

Another suggestion: My world in black and white. (any image defining
"your world", but limited to b/w.)

Happy printing,
Sharri

hello barener and esses again--I apologize for my ignorance--I am down
here in the big busy world taking a woodblock printmaking workshop from
tom killion--among other things--and now know that basswood is the shina
plywood we all know and love..My naivete is huge and so manifest whenever
I walk into an art supply store.
I like the idea of a theme dedicated to printmakers who have inspired or
motivated us....
