I make ceramic prints on clay. Even though I use screens to make my work, there is such variation in the process going to a finished piece that each work is a monoprint. Typically I make one finished piece from my screens and then recycle them to move on to print my next image. At the request of a client, I just remade “Dune Grasses” in a smaller size. I retain my digital files of each photo image and am able to redo in the same or altered size and color.
This image is a 360 degree panorama of the dunes along Horseneck Beach between Baker’s and Westport Town Beach. Below are some of the 25 steps I do to make finished piece.
