If Printmaking were outlawed tomorrow.... than....

If Printmaking were outlawed tomorrow, what about your own practice? Would you be able to continue in another medium?

I think I mention last week at the PMA that I don't consider myself as a print-maker. I have been thinking about this question about myself being considered as a print-maker or as an artist throughout 2 years of graduate school.I fell in love with printmaking when I was in undergraduate and the story goes on very cheesy(which doesn't need be written).
Anyways, I slowly realized that I was drawn in the the process of making an image. Lithography was the tool for me at the time and therefore I made my decision to move to ABQ, NM to learn more about the medium. Going to Tamarind was one of the best experience that I had in America.
Coming from Tamarind, I had a lot of questions for myself in my art practice.
Tyler made me think about why am i doing what i am doing. I don't have my final answer for the question but I do know that I am a very process oriented person. I am not only very attracted to the lithographic images but also the making(process) of image. However, I realized I wasn't really interesting the idea of reproduction and multiples. It was about the making and printmaking was the tool for me to make the making. I wouldn't be where I am if it wasn't for printmaking. The way of thinking about the materials and surfaces and the idea of physically engaging myself through the process of making are the overlaps that I have in printmaking and my current works.
The physicality of the black pigment (Xerox toner) and how it creates an image on a plastic surface (Myler) are the things that I am working with. I don't make prints for my own art practice, however, printmaking will be very very very missed if it were outlawed tomorrow.
