Great discussion. The balance between control and spontaneity is so complicated. I love the tools of TD precisely because they are mechanical. The rhythm of the process of rolling the ink (I use oil paint and the smell is an important aspect of the gestalt), helps to take me somewhere beyond the present moment. The fragility of the papers helps me to avoid the preciousness associated with so much art activity, such as the difficulty in putting paint on to a new canvas or pristine sheet of watercolour paper. Multiple image making takes me beyond the possibility of my conscious brain supplying images. It just can't keep up.
Taking special images in to the art world is another form of honouring our art making. I am grateful for the ideas here as I haven't got that far yet. Has anyone attemted to use sheets of acetate to put the tissue between? I love the semi-transparency of the fragile tissue and want to keep the art true to it's beginnings.
