Most of my recent images have been put together digitaly using images made in “natural” media. It’s a great way to work collaboratively as none of the original work is destroyed. Although the digital prints do live they lack the texture and depth of an etching or woodcut. There is a also temptation to build in too many layers of information into an image and it becomes technical, clever and dead. The old rules of simple is best and less is more need to be strctly applied to ensure digital images sing and be more than just an exercise in cleverness. Nobody likes a smart ass.
