HAHNEMUHLE PAPER AND LAYERED INK; LIMITED EDITION OF 15

16”W X 20”H

Soren’s AIR Editions at Local Language are part of her Some Blows are Heavy series. These works focus on the tension between the visible and invisible examining the things we see and those that we willfully discard. These works often depict scenes that are painful to process, creating an internal struggle for the viewer who is at once transfixed and wants to turn away. This innate contradiction is embraced and present in the images. Layering techniques and a language of obfuscation and blurred vision are deftly employed so the subject matter can be encountered slowly, each moment unfurling as new perceptions and realizations emerge. Each artwork is printed on 285gsm Hahnemühle paper mounted to a birch panel, and then printed again on the JFX UV printer. With over a dozen print passes and layers upon layers of ink a unique hap- tic surface is built, creating an embossed effect. These works are limited to editions of 15 each.
