Pieter Irwin Brown approaches abstraction through the unique constraints and possibilities of printmaking, where the grain of the material, the pressure of the tool, and the interaction of pigment and paper all contribute to the final image. His work combines Western compositional approaches with Japanese printing techniques, creating atmospheric views of temples and historical sites.
