Karen Cornelius Printmaking is my discipline of choice.The transfer of image and texture from one surface to another as well as the repetition and layering of image attracts me to the medium. Although trained in traditional printmaking methods, I have progressively pushed the traditional boundaries exploring non-traditional materials and methods. I also work with video and performance. The layering of image and meaning in both a single frame and in time including both visual image and sound attracts me to this art form. Priority with in my art practice is given to collaboration whether with national or international artists, community groups orl educational settings Collaboration provides a supportive environment for creative expresssion, experimentation and exchange of knowledge and information while cultivating mutual understanding and respect Artist from dirverse cultural experience and disparate geographical location offer unique and sometimes unexpected insight into one's own cultural expereince. Printmaking and video art are both suited to a collaborarive approach. The processis as important and the outcome
