Flow...when it happens, there is nothing else.
One thing I appreciate about printing, is the tendency towards flow through repetitive actions. This is especially relevant when printing an edition. After the markmaking, there is so much work to be done that is just part of the process. A printmaker need not be inspired at every moment. The mind can wander to some extent, though precise actions force the artist to remain grounded and conscious of the present, (reality). It is similar to meditation in a way. A working meditation.
