These are three new “Imaginary Vase” mono-prints / trace-prints . They are @ 8” x 11”. They (and others) were made while making other prints, while waiting for inks to dry on other prints or using up the last bits of inks and paints. This particular group benefits from an implied texture (yellow) caused by a very textured plate and the imagery on the map itself. The other map drawings weren’t prints so these may be the beginning of an entirely new series of map/vase images. We’ll see. These prints, like a number of other new works, have benefitted from hanging on the studio wall for longer periods of time, having small bits of colors and lines added after Ia longer period of thought and study.
