Printmaking Final

Click to view full sized!!

Technically mixed media with printmaking, silkscreen and lithography on different papers and fabrics using a quilting compositional design.

I chose to base this on the topic of environmental decay and renewal. I chose a quilting/piece working being inspired by African-American quilting history and watching The Quiltmakers of Gee's Bend movie because they are a means of recycling materials to make something else.
