Skin and Bones 4 (Mary Farrell)
|
Skin and Bones 4Farrell exploits the printmaking process and mixes varied printing methods to define scale and space. Each color you see in a printed image is applied as a single layer. For the Skin & Bones series, she first printed a flat of color from a block of wood. Next she overprinted this with the carved block of the bones and figure. The bones were carved to appear forward on the flat surface while the figure was carved to achieve the effect of the human form moving back in space. |
