If I Were Five, Then I Would See High Above On A Shelf, Wayne Corliss, screenprint
Orange and dark red background, layered with thick strokes of paint; alternating blocks of color (shades of green, blue, black, and pink)
A composition in blues and white (the paper). Imagery suggests an arctic landscape in stormy weather; we see icy seas, snowed-under buildings with antennae. A range of printing techniques were employed, producing a variety of stylistic looks - fine lines, brush work, etc.
A black and white photographic image of a sandbag and lumber structure built to protect Leonardo's "Ultima Cena" (The Last Supper) in Milan. The title of the print is rendered in letterpress in an old-style seraph typeface and spaced at between ¾-1" below the image, and centered.
