In 2020 Judy Ledgerwood produced a significant body of unique prints with Manneken Press. a project that continued over a period of months and resulted in more than thirty monotypes.

Using watercolor, rather tan traditional printing inks, the aqueous media flowed, allowing the colors to pool, run together, settle and dry in unique patterns and textures, emphasizing its physical materiality as a substance and producing results distinctly different from working with watercolor in an unmediated, direct manner on paper. Ledgerwood’s signature quatrefoil shapes, loose, diagonal grids, floral and yonic symbols, references to quilts and the “feminine arts” and intense, penetrating colors are found throughout the monotype series.
