ARTIST BIO: Kevin Harris works in a wide range of media and explores a variety of themes, but he views Printmaking as the foundation of his practice. As a printmaker, Kevin prefers to pursue variations on an image—the imperfect clone—rather than an edition of identical multiples. His current work uses digital processes to combine collage, drawing, painting, photography and printmaking.
