Singular (with variations)

I made these three prints using one intaglio plate. It is the dark oblique rectangle with lines raditing from the corners. In each of the prints I used the chine collé process with a piece of a print I had made at Northern Print last summer. It was a large scale woodblock/screen-print combo. I much prefer the combination of the smeary expressive marks of the fluorescent screen-print ink and curvilinear woodblock shapes in their new incarnation. For a while now I’ve been using neon colors as an accent or addition during the last step in the process of making a print. When I made these prints I became interested in reversing the order and printing on top of the fluorescent paint. This does something different with the color, it doesn’t sit on top but is integrated into the image. I worked this way with many of the other prints I made this summer.
