Insiders: a printer’s perspective – John Hutcheson

May 15, 2014 by tylercollection

As curators we have a tendency to focus on the artwork, the finished product; however this is only ever part of the equation. The technical nature of printmaking often necessitates collaboration and team work in order to successfully execute a print.
