AR / May 81
This series of photopolymer letterpress and screenprints that were editioned while in residence at Kala Institute of the Arts, Berkeley, CA. Based on scanned pages from the Architectural Review detailing the flexible, adaptable use of buildings designed by British “Hi-Tech” architects of the 1980’s.
The plates are an adaptation for letterpress printing, composed as a montage of halftone and line screens within sixteen Photoshop layers. Each layer is produced as a single photopolymer plate and printed in two suites; one in black ink and one in combination of black and color inks. A third group of six prints are presented within a screenprinted ground and use the lateral movement of the inking unit to print a gradient of ink within the plate. The work is intended to be responsive to space; to be presented in its entire sequence or within groups and pairings.
AR/May 81, 2015, polymer-plate letterpress on Somerset textured paper, plate 8.25 x 5.75, paper 15 x 11 inches
