Work of the 1980s - 90s
In the mid 1980s until about 2003 I made handpulled silkscreen prints incorporating my photographs via sheets of photographic film, direct emulsion screen stencils, and water soluble acrylics made for outdoor mural painting. Some were as few as 30 or so layers of paint (ink); one was 153 layers, it took five months to complete that edition. Editions were small, six to nine prints, as the acrylic set fast and I had about fifteen minutes to pull prints once the acrylic hit the screen. These images are from scanned slides. Remember slides?
