The Sculptor's Imprint, Part I

The Sculptor's Imprint, Part I
Luis Jimenez, Hollis Hammonds, James Sullivan, John Robert Craft, Linda Ridgway
Sculptors have long turned to printmaking not to reproduce their work, but to extend it. At Flatbed Press, collaborations with sculptors have revealed the printed image as another arena for sculptural inquiry—where questions of mass, material, space, gesture, and touch are translated into ink on paper. Whether through line, texture, or the direct imprint of an object itself, these prints are not secondary to sculpture; they are expressions of sculptural thought in another medium.

Hollis Hammonds
Hollis Hammonds is a multimedia artist whose work spans drawing, printmaking, sculpture, and installation. Her practice explores themes of memory, consumer culture, environmental degradation, and the accumulation of material objects. Through intricate imagery and layered compositions, Hammonds transforms personal and collective histories into compelling visual narratives that bridge two- and three-dimensional thinking.
Luis Jiménez (1940–2006)
Luis Jiménez was one of the most influential American sculptors of the twentieth century, celebrated for his vibrant fiberglass sculptures inspired by Chicano culture, the American Southwest, and working-class life. Alongside his public sculpture, Jiménez created powerful drawings and prints that translated his dynamic sense of form, movement, and color into two-dimensional works.
James Sullivan
James Sullivan is a sculptor, printmaker, and educator whose work investigates memory, place, and the passage of time through sculpture, drawing, and printmaking. A longtime professor at Southern Methodist University, Sullivan has collaborated extensively with Flatbed Press, creating prints that extend his sculptural vocabulary through richly textured surfaces and expressive mark-making.
Linda Ridgway
Linda Ridgway is recognized for sculpture, drawing, and printmaking that reflect a deep engagement with nature, mythology, and the handmade object. Her work often blurs the boundaries between sculpture and print, incorporating sculptural forms and found objects as sources for direct impressions and monoprints, emphasizing touch, memory, and material presence.
John Robert Craft
John Robert Craft is a sculptor whose practice explores the expressive qualities of material, form, and process. His collaborative printmaking extends these investigations by using sculptural objects and constructed forms as sources for printed impressions, creating works that move fluidly between object, image, and print.
