‘Craig has created a fascinating marriage of print making and a copier’s photographic image. Her print technique is accessible to anyone, but arranging plants with the artlessness of nature takes an artist’s and naturalist’s eye. Roots, leaves and soil are often included.
 In some pieces, a few of nature’s imperfections are left on the plant, such as leaf holes. Craig’s art form aims to delight rather than disturb.’

Review from exhibition of Bioprints at Jewett Hall Gallery - University of Maine at Augusta

The medium is high tech yet the process begins with preparing the earth for the seed that grows the material which comprises Bioprints. The medium is a colour laser copy machine.  By definition a ‘scanner’, laser copying is an electro photo process. The object or design is focused on a photo sensitive drum that produces an electrostatic matrix.  This in turn is transferred and fixed to the image base (paper). This is repeated for every print.  The ‘original’ is the actual object on the glass platen, i.e. flowers, ferns, seaweeds, etc.  Once an arrangement is dismantled there are only as many images as the machine has been programmed to make.  Unlike photography there is no negative to provide unlimited reproduction.
