PUBLISHED BY THE ARTIST

Published By The Artist is a benefit exhibition and sale of self-published editions by a varied host of printers curated by Brad Ewing (Marginal Editions) and Katie Michel (Grenfell Press). All editions are priced at $300 or less with proceeds to be shared equally by the artist and International Print Center of New York.

Above is the postcard design for the show, the two silkscreen prints I'm exhibiting (and sold, yay!) and some snapshots taken from facebook of the opening.

My prints are entitled, Connect 1 and Connect 2. They are 2 color screenprints on Yupo paper (which is an archival paper made of plastic) 20x26". The imagery was inspired by photographs I had taken of the urban street-scape of Redhook, Brooklyn and an experimental process of taping black thread directly to the screen (when exposing the screen) to create the free-form tangled lines.

It is an honor to exhibit among an amazing collective of printmakers.

WORK IN PROGRESS

*It's been a while since I have posted any work, but I've definitely been producing. I will take the next few weeks to post projects I've done in the past year and earlier.

The images above are of a work in progress at the printshop. I've been layering circular images onto a beautiful soft black Hahnemuhle paper that is 33x41" in size. All of the circles have been screen-printed onto the paper in variations of white, gray and silver. All of the imagery was hand painted or drawn on film to create the screens for printing. I will continue layering and playing with different ink opacities. Look out for my post of the finished piece!
