Martha Oatway	Selected Works - Website
My monoprints combine the technology of xerox lithography with the organic elements of collagraphs, drypoints, etching and woodcuts. The prints evolve over time, each color is another run through the etching press. Looking through the surface to the information below gives the prints an archaeological feel. Math Series was inspired by a hydrodynamics book published in 1890. Most pages are covered with individual equations and their derivations that are totally abstract visual images to me. The equations, punctuated by prose become an exercise in positive and negative space. I combine the hard equations with organic forms from my etching, drypoint and woodcut plates and additional geometric symbols. By uniting the disparate elements of chaos and order, I have created my own visual language.	Math CL
