The Suite Life

Monotype prints are individual and signed 1/1 because each print is distinct. However, when one has a series of monotypes that are similar in style are referred to as a suite. The prints below were printed on Monday, July 18, 2011 and will be displayed and sold as a set or "suite".

The following 3 prints are single prints to be displayed & sold individually. All prints begin with mixing paint, rolling it onto plexiglass and running it through the printing press onto to heavy paper. This creates the background color. In some of these, the roller/brayer is streaked for flair. The second and third time that the paper was sent through the press, the found objects (painted & shaped) were added.

For this work, seasalt was added on top of the purple to create the white spots. Later 3 different layers were run with various colors and selected items safe enough to go through a print machine.
