In March of 2013 I was selected to be a part of the Art Institute of Boston's team in the Iron Printmaker Competition, hosted by Mass College of Art and Design. We were given one afternoon to create a print that incorporated intaglio, lithography, relief, and stencil or silkscreen techniques and produce and edition of 10. AIB's team was coached by James Mustin and included Myself, Danielle Kelley, Gary LaPoint, and Lucia Balcazar. AIB came in first place followed up by Mass Art in second place, the Museum school in third place, and Boston University in fourth.

When the competition began we were given a bag of mystery items that needed to be either included in our final edition or used in the process of making our print. The Items were caution tape, plastic easter basket grass, and a plastic grid. Here you can see me trimming down the caution tape which was chine colle'ed into our print.
