2017

About the Item

Aspinwall adhered to a certain principle. She drew one freehand line as straight as possible. Under that line she drew another, following as closely as she could the one above it. Each successive line followed the line directly above, imitating all the curves and shakes. These imperfections, or deviations from the original line, became more and more prominent, each line being an interpretation of what came before it. While Aspinwall’s works have continued to stem from that practice, they have also evolved significant substantially: the scale has increased, the lines have loosened, and the colors have become much bolder. At a certain point Aspinwall recognized the potential in this method for evoking topographical features of an imagined terrain. She achieves optical effects of highlights, shadows, depth, and movement through variations of line density and her meticulous choice of colors. Ann Aspinwall (b. 1976 in New York) received her MA in Art History from the University of St Andrews in Scotland in 1998. She studied printmaking at studios in Scotland and Italy. She previously worked as a printer at Pace Editions in New York and as a Print Specialist at the New York Public Library. In 2012 Aspinwall and Knut Willich founded Aspinwall Editions, a fine art print publisher and print studio with facilities in New York and Rheine, Germany. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the New York Public Library, and the Smith College Museum of Art. She lives and works in New York.
