Beginning in 1945, students could major in clothing and design. The department is the home of the International Quilt Study Center, and the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery. My sketchbooks are pieces of paper that I keep circulating and mixing up and keep refiling in a very loose file. I have thought 'I would love to make this image or that image' and just never get to them. I go on to other things.
Inspirations come from observations of nature, a fleeting thought, a random movement.
Kunc's medium is reduction wood cut print, a process that works in negative and in stages. Using a variety of tools to extract layers of wood, creating patterns and strokes and lines, the technique prints in stages, color by color. Kunc's prints are bold, dramatic, calculatedly puzzling. My work is actually very recognizable. I can't make it look like anything else.
