Silk and Paper Layered Art
I love working with silk!
I print the images on a large, white roll of silk especially treated to work with pigment prints.
Getting the colors just right is tricky, so I create all my own targets and profiles for each new substrate. It takes time but achieving sparkling color makes it worthwhile.
Title
Each work has a
unique title
Media
Original pigment prints with silk overlays and glass beading
Sizes
The work comes
in these sizes:
24 x 24 inches
24 x 30 inches
24 x 47 inches
Translucent silk overlays create depth, tactile interest and a moire effect on these colorful pigment prints.
Light weight layers of organza are positioned above the print, adding dimension. Some portions of the fabric are cut away, creating a window to the images below. Glass beads and other details are sewn on by hand to add further interest to the surface.
The silk is light weight, durable and the colors stay vibrant. I use museum quality, archival rag paper with pigment ink for the prints. If you like silk, take a look at the tall silk wall pieces designed for home and office.
