PRINTMAKING | DRAWING

​ARTIST STATEMENT
"I am essentially a printmaker and "printmaking" is historically about telling a visual story and repeating it "verbatim" many times. Consistency is the preferred outcome and any anomalies produced in the process of working are destroyed in favor of presenting a consistent product. This is an approach that I have long resisted. When I create my work, there are methods that I have utilized repeatedly that allow variation in my series of related prints. I often use printing plates made with interchangeable parts that are rearranged as I print to produce different visual results. I also use variations of color in each stage to express moods and perception of time. This way of working allows me to make spontaneous decisions as I create each print to expand the reading of the images beyond only one frozen moment in time."

"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man." - Heraclitus


— Meredith Dean, 2023

View "Woven Time"  Exhibit

“For many years my work has been inspired by my interest in both mapping (topographical, land, road, sky, magnetic flow patterns, earthquake fault lines, wind directions, cartographic projections, etc.) and the effects of natural forces (wind, weather, water, time, internal pressures, seasonal changes, etc.).  The whole idea of attempting to capture the world as fixed with maps and data is confronted by the reality of constant natural changes.  These opposing yet mutually dependent ideas influence the imagery that I use and the way that I think about creating my art.   
I work in several media, printmaking, epoxy constructions, drawing and photography. I use shifts of form
s and color to create a personal, investigative system to express the inter-changeable, constantly shifting poetic, visual signs, and symbols with which we attempt to describe our world.”

— Meredith Dean, 2021
