2007-08 Wind Challenge Artist
Roger Matsumoto earned a BS from Seattle University and an MS from the University of Washington. He makes beautifully poetic prints by applying palladium salts solution to watercolor paper. He adds brush lines at the same time as the solution, then adds a full size negative to the surface and exposes them all to ultraviolet light. Each print is a distinct realization of the negative. Working in this way, Matsumoto is really producing a monoprint using the photographic process
