Artist Statement
Process is important to Ray Bidegain, and there are many steps in the photogravure process.
First, Bidegain finds something beautiful, often an everyday item or scene, that he finds soothing. Considering the image he wants to record on film, imagining that it may be soothing to his viewers, as well, is just the beginning. The making of the prints is a large part of the joy for him, and the very tactile, handmade nature of the photogravure is soothing in another way.
The resulting object communicates calm in a way that lets Bidegain share this feeling with his viewers.
