	"Many artists evolve gradually over the years towards a particular kind of expression and technique easily recognized as their characteristic personal style to which, with minor variations, they adhere. They are known for that certain kind of work and that is what they continue doing ever more. But for me that would be terribly boring. I like many different kinds of art and I have used almost every kind of print making method. This is also why, although many themes are recurring, my images and iconography can be very diverse. ... Some of my mezzotints are created in the classical manner, others may be created with the rocker alone without burnishing. Some incorporate dry point, rouleau, masks, etc., and in some cases four or five plates with multiple passes through the press. I rock the plates and print them myself in small editions that rarely exceed 25." A. David Crown M. D.
