Space 1026 member, Bill McRight is a hardworking printmaker - he's at it daily, I like to think of him as part of the blue collar artists, whose practice means constantly working without pretension--just because he can. His fellow studio mate Ben Woodward, filmed him carving a block in their studio over the course of a day and posted it on the Art in the Age website. I like his unique carving style - he lays out a patch of black and slowly builds up freeform patterns to create his fantastic lurking creatures, criminals on the lam or whatever.
