Artist Interview:
Bill Fick

There’s this transition between the creating of the block and the printing, then when it’s printed that’s it, it’s done. I think drawings, they never feel like they’re finished pieces for me. … I like the idea that there is a transition between the carving part and the printing and then you print it onto good paper and that’s it, it’s gone through this transformation. I really like the mechanical process.  –Bill Fick, lecturing fellow in Duke’s Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies, where he teaches drawing, printmaking, comics and zines.
