Abstract Details

2008, MFA, Kent State University, College of the Arts / School of Art.
The body of work Phillip Wall is a series of printed studies that utilize screen printing and low-relief techniques to construct a field image. I sought to learn alternative ways of making a screen print through the use of small stencils, repeat patterns, and overlapping colors. My aim was to combine the notions of busy and quiet into every piece. The work is obsessive, which is the very nature of my process. There is a great deal of repetition and neutralization in each print. I print large to small, dark colors to light, and from opaque to transparent. This method helps me layer the work to the point where the final print begins acquiring the quality of monochrome. Every print is one of a kind, and I construct them accordingly. The objective is to cover the entire surface of the paper with a printed motif, while assembling the image through the series of layers producing a shallow textural and illusionist depth. One small component becomes the starting point to repeat and form a solution. The final print carries with it a sense of an all-over pattern that dominates the visual solution. The work suggests a feeling of calm.
