I already knew back in
1976 how much fun and excitement I could have being a screen
printer (serigrapher), so I got my M.A.
I still know in order
to pull it off, I need to be a mechanic, an electrician, and
most of all an alchemist. I love the interaction of shapes and
colors. When things are going right, the image achieves a
hypnotic vibrancy. It's fun to see it seem to take its first
breath and begin to live.
The thing I find most
exciting about serigraphy is the self publishing dynamic. I
produce multiples, yet they are all originals and individual.
When a good one takes off, it can acquire a social life of its
own. It can pop up anywhere in the world. They can acquire a
kind of currency that represents a shared value and experience.
If I can produce something that makes everyone richer, that's
exciting.
