Having specialized in printmaking at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, artist Heather Kocsis found that this technical foundation led her to a very distinctive technique that she now incorporates into her work. Using reclaimed, weathered plywood to construct three dimensional representations of industrial buildings, Heather layers the pieces similarly to the way she would have constructed a plate to be rolled through a press. “The layering involved in printmaking and the resulting impression of textures on the final print was what I appreciated in my studies at University, but I was looking for something more physical. With my current technique, I find the building process a catharsis and I strive to challenge myself with the problems of perspective to create a juxtaposition of strong dynamics within each piece. Architecture fascinates me; the denseness and the stability of buildings are captivating, and I attempt to shed light on these structures in an innovative way.”
