New Metallic Prints in the Studio
Print delivery day is always a great, but this new batch I got in are really special. There’s no better feeling for me than seeing a film composition when it’s enlarged and printed, and really it’s the first time the art “exists” as something to be regarded and appreciated. Last week I printed a variety of new and old works on a metallic paper to see how they would look, and they turned out quite beautiful, particularly these pieces from the JOYAS series:

I also printed two pieces from the MT. TAKAO series on the metallic paper and they completely exceeded my expectations. I received a lot of positive feedback about these compositions when. I posted the initial film scans online, but they are impressive at this size. I have yet to trim these prints, but the image size on these finished prints will be 24”x40”, with a frame size of 28”x44”, or potentially smaller.

I printed a few pieces from my Abstract Istanbul series, a set of works from film I shot in Turkey in 2014. I hadn’t yet printed or exhibited any of this work so I printed two of the pieces, which I’ll possibly do some screenprinting onto, similar to the Rainier Botany series.
