Abstract
Ellen Heck's figurative prints and portrait portfolios combine woodcut and intaglio to create narrative compositions. Her Forty Fridas portfolio (2012), a series of portraits depicting women and girls posing as painter/icon Frida Kahlo, was selected as the winner of the Victoria & Albert Prize at the International Print Biennale in 2014. She discusses the development of her process, the influence of Mary Cassatt's color etchings, and the way in which she has continued to use combined techniques to create a body of work that focuses primarily on human identity, its creation, variability, and change.
