In many ways it's the process of printing that captivates me just as much, if not more, than the final result. If the making itself wasn't engaging I probably wouldn't continue to print. In this piece I wanted to bring to the forefront the how of printmaking - to demystify and to lay bare the process for viewers to see and understand with the hopes that they might eventually act upon that understanding to make work of their own. Jenny has, for some time, been making work that speaks about the action of printing - the repetitive dance we do when we ink, pull, print, ink, pull, print... Jenny's history of combining performance with printmaking and my interest in the display of the process came together in this collaborative piece. We were each at an end of a table, myself with a screen of my face and Jenny with a linoleum cut of her face mounted to a roller device she built. We each started with 1000 sheets of paper and over the course of 3 hours printed as many self-portraits as we could. Face Off by Kyle Bravo and Jenny LeBlanc, 2007, NFS.
