A Broth for Two Parents
Diane Fine, Plattsburgh, NY
A Broth for Two Parents is published by the Moonkosh Press, in
collaboration with the poet Eli Goldblatt and photographer Sue Lezon.
It is letterpress printed on Alcantara handmade paper and Hahnemühle
Bugra. The images, shot in Egypt by Lezon, are hand-wiped photo-polymer
intaglio prints. The binding is a variation on Reg Beattie's "Islamic
Box/Book." Created in 2006 in an edition of 30.
Diane Fine works primarily in two related art media: printmaking and
the book arts. She is inspired by printmaking techniques that enable her
to create many and varied kinds of surfaces and marks. The fact that most
printmaking occurs in multiples is important to Fine as it enables her
to share her work more widely and in varied contexts. Collaboration with
fellow artists, part of the tradition of printmaking and the book arts,
has been an essential part of her learning process and production.
Fine is currently professor of art at Plattsburgh State University of
New York where she teaches printmaking and book arts. She received her
BFA from Syracuse University and her MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
She exhibits regularly and her work is represented in a number of public
and private collections including The New York Public Library, the Yale
University Art Gallery, the Brooklyn Museum Library, and Harvard University's
Houghton Library.
