Printmakers Randy and Sallie Radock moved to Washington from Illinois via Wisconsin in the mid 1960s. After raising their children and retiring from careers in engineering and nursing they moved from Woodinville, Washington to the Olympic Peninsula. In 1999 they enrolled in art classes--trying several media before finding relief printing which appealed to their creative nature because of its versatility. Relief printing encompasses creating then, while thinking of the results in reverse, carving a design into a block ( wood, linoleum or a clay based material ) and inking the block with a variety of tools. Handmade paper, papyrus or tapa cloth is placed on the inked block and hand-pressed to transfer the image to the chosen material. Because the carved areas are lower than the surface of the block they remain ink free allowing the color and/or texture of the paper to become an element of the image. Each piece printed from a block is a distinct creative process due to the choice of ink and paper. With so many variables each print is a unique piece of art.
