Hello everyone.
I wanted to share some pictures from a project I recenly completed with an artist named Emily Joyce. Emily was referred to me by a former teacher of mine from Otis, Melissa Thorne. She called me just as I returned back from Tamarind. Her work is very similar to the pictures below in scale and imagery, but are made up of vinyl stickers stuck to a mylar-like material called Duralar. The problems she was facing were hours and hours spent cutting, and the vinyl was working it's way off of the Duarlar as temeratures changed. How to solve such problems? SCREENPRINT them!
As you can see this was a crazy ambitious project to start, but clearly fun and exciting.
As the prints took shape we became hypnotised by the optic spinning eyeballs. Hours of taping, exposing, mixing, figuring out registration tools, blow drying, cleaning, testing, cupcake eating, pandora serching, muscle spasms...with the help of many assistants, and the Otis printmaking lab, we completed 3- 55" x 88" prints, 1800 pulls, close to 70 hours of work. And they are beautiful!!!!
amazingly beautiful!!
