MARGARET CRAIG
MIXED MEDIA
ARTIST STATEMENT
"My work is derived from printmaking methods; mixed media with or without support, and prints stretched over forms using a technique I developed. My work is about the manipulation of form that transforms the idea; a recreation of multilayered process found in nature. A degree in biology informs my work." -- Margaret Craig ARTIST BIO
