This collection brings together a synthesis of printmaking and pyrography to explore texture, depth, and storytelling in a multidimensional way. Each piece begins with carefully crafted prints, serving as the foundational layer enhanced through the intricate detailing of woodburning techniques. The pyrography process—applying controlled heat to etch patterns, text, and imagery directly onto wood—introduces organic textures that contrast beautifully with the precision of print work, creating a sense of movement and dimension.
In these works, I use pyrography not only as a textural tool but also as a narrative layer, adding warmth and depth that emphasizes the tactile quality of the artwork. The wood-burned details serve as both focal points and subtle highlights, drawing the viewer in for a closer look at the dynamic relationship between the printed image and the wood's natural grain.
On this page, you'll find detailed views of selected woodburns, where the intricate scorched lines enhance the overall composition. These close-ups reveal the nuances of the pyrographic technique, from delicate line work to bold, darker shading. The combination of print work and pyrography reflects a dialogue between precision and spontaneity, a blend of control and organic flow.
