Martha Ensign Johnson's printmaking is known for its innovative formats.  She might print on both sides of a paper or print in unusual supports like fabric.  Layering and transparency are important for Johnson; she will hang prints against a window to form a series of images that flowing one into the other. In a recent series she traced the latitude of her home town around the world finding images from the natural world -- underscoring the fragility of out planet.  Overall, what characterizes Johnson's work is beauty!
