Ginny Ruffner Edition 1/7

Subject Ginny Ruffner, once wrote an essay explaining how her garage sale of ideas gets transformed into internationally renowned glass sculptures.  Mostly I notice (the ideas) in a corner of my consciousness, waiting for the music to start.  Some are wall flowers and require a little coaxing; some are dancing fools jitterbugging across the synapses, flailing their skinny double-helix arms, shaking their light-bulb heads and screaming 'make me, make me' - From Mind Over Matter, an article in Pacific Magazine by Paula Bock, July 16, 1995

This image was produced by the photogravure process which is an intaglio printmaking or photo-mechanical process whereby a copper plate is grained (adding a pattern to the plate) and then coated with a light-sensitive gelatin tissue which had been exposed to a film positive, and then etched, resulting in a high quality intaglio plate that can reproduce detailed continuous tones of a photograph.
