Sophy Naess
Each unique Arc print was made by rolling printer's ink onto a woven substrate, placing it on the paper, and passing it through the press. The ghostly outline of a glove alludes to the artist's hand and the spontaneity of creation. Showing fine detail in the thread and conveying the loose, gestural feel of her paintings, the Arc prints blend Sophy Naess's interests in weaving and printmaking.
