The Test of Time: CME from the collection of South Carolina Arts Commission

The Test of Time: CME, 1986

serigraph/screenprint

14.5 x 14.5 in

Signature: signed and dated on lower right

Although I had made prints since 1957, it was only after 1968 that I turned my full attention to them and drawing. I have chosen to restrict my efforts to these techniques because I feel that the images that I want to make feel best in small format and in the mediums of printmaking. I use the screenprint because of the way in which I can build form, correct, and change through layering. My interest in detail and surface draws me to this medium. The character of the various kinds of stencils and the ability to manipulate gloss, satin, and flat finish inks, opacity and transparency, and hue make it a natural for the way that I work. My pictures are small dramas and I want them to operate in the sense of drama both literally and abstractly.

The Test of Time: CME is a 52 color screenprint commissioned by Gelderman, Inc., of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
