Carroll will use imagery created from an archive of decaying astronomical photographs and learn the photogravure process in order to produce a print portfolio for his project Standard Stars. He will give talks about the technique at regional colleges or universities, host a workshop at Highpoint Center for Printmaking in Minneapolis, and share the work with those interested in astronomy at a local ?star viewing party.?

I will learn the photogravure process and use it to create a portfolio of prints for my project Standard Stars. I will produce a portfolio of photogravure prints and seek feedback from other artists and printmakers. I will also use this portfolio to apply for exhibitions, residencies, and fellowships.
I created at least twenty unique photogravure prints which I then edited down to a portfolio of thirteen prints. The physical abundance of prints that now exist in my studio.
