David Moyer
My imagery explores visual and literary ideas through black and white print media, usually wood engraving.
I have always gravitated toward the German print tradition and have a particular fondness for the work of Durer, Wolgemuth, Cranach, Holbein, and Baldung-Grien.
My technique is to employ black line engraving rather than the more traditional approach of white line engraving. Mostly, I am interested in the quality of line, and my ideas are conceived as black lines on a white ground; therefore, my interest concerns the graphic quality of wood engraving rather than the tonal quality.
