Silkscreen Prints also know as Serigraphs, were all hand made by myself. Each one is original and they are created by layering one color and shape at a time to a limited number of pieces of cotton papers. By their nature they all are limited editions.
The color relationships evolve as the print is created and produce the illusion of a total unified image. Each color layer is created when ink is hand pulled through a screen that is blocked by a hand cut stencils. Each layer or as they are called, run, uses a different stencil.
Most stencils used are tracing paper that I cut with an exacto knife, other stencils are made with ink drawings that are transferred to the screen using a light sensitive emulsion. I have also used combed baby powder in some of the images.
Some of the inks are mixed together to bring multiple blended colors into one layer (also called a split font run). Other inks are make opaque and still others transparent to create different looks. Once the edition is created, no more can be made as the stencils are destroyed.
The prints have up to 35 runs and are all printed on arches 88 cotton printing paper.
