"Occlusions". 2018, mixed media on paper. 11"x14".
In my twenties, and working on my degree at York University, I discovered that what I really love about serigraphy is the ability to lay down broad areas of flat colour. I took to using silkscreens to making pictures through repeated prints – and partial prints – layering them in different colours. Those early experiments resulted in pictures like the Sputnik series, which I just picked up recently to complete. Later, I also tried using silk screens as a paint brush, layering thin cats of translucent black paint.
This series uses the same technique, adding occasional drawing or paint strokes, which is why they're filed under mixed media rather than prints…they are all one of a kind.
All works on paper are shipped matted, mounted and sleeved in cellophane. 11"x14" pictures like this one fit standard 16"x20" frames.
