Katie Walker large lithograph

This is a large lithograph printed in two colors, black and grey. The image is "bleed" printed, meaning the printing goes off the edge of the paper. The artist worked in collaboration at Obee Editions in summer of 2023 drawing on various lithographic surfaces including aluminum plate and limestone. Katie utilized crayon, lithographic washes, transfer techniques, stop out, and scratching and sanding to develop her unique mark making and translate those marks to the mediums of lithography.

"In recent years I have been creating work using imagery, special relationships and/or actual plotted points from the memory of a particular place I’ve been, or memories of colorful and important people in my life. Lately I have been continuing this expressionistic “map-making” but, as personal meaning and influences evolve, I am attempting to reconcile new information and knowledge with what is known. By merging residue of the past and imagined scenarios with my daily life, I am making abstract works that reflect broader experiences of life and memory."
