Kerr Effect Series large prints were created between 2016-19 by printing layers of 16”x 20” intaglio and relief plates in oil-based inks and in varying rotational orders; these pieces incorporate monotype and collagraph layers as well as hand coloring; the process makes each piece unique though related to other pieces in a series by the common matrixes; the initial inspiration for the plates was to explore optical communications of bits of refracted light on a waterscape.
