One of the two female artists represented here. Born in Chicago Illinois. "Judith Jaidinger's obsession with cutting began in her 1960s student days at the School of the Art Institute and is linked to her equally long frankly sensuous relationship with boxwood. She was introduced to both in an engraving class taught by British-born print-master Adrian Troy. "At the same time printing industry technology had moved on supplanting woodblock engravings with line drawings and photography. 'A dying art' Jaidinger says. It was also a seriously slumping industry. But in the 1960s in Chicago hub of an enormous catalog business there were still a few commercial wood-engraving establishments turning out the precise detailed images more typical of the previous century. One of them Sander Wood Engraving on Dearborn Street was where Professor Troy a committed modernist sent his students to buy the best material: rare English-grown boxwood blocks. "'He warned us' Jaidinger recalls 'If you go to Sander and buy your wood from them don't look at what those engravers are doing. I don't want you to be influenced by them.' "That made it irresistible." - Reader- Chicago's alternative nonprofit newsroom <br /> <br /> -Stefan Martin 1936-1994. Born in Elgin Illinois and a graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago.
