About the Item

Stellify / TWO / cerise glaze is a metallic Lambda photographic print, optionally mounted to Plexiglass, laser cut to shape, and fitted with a hidden subframe, ready to install. Work can be supplied unmounted and ready to frame if you’d prefer. The work is individually signed and numbered verso, with both a unique catalogue raisonné number and the edition number for guaranteed authenticity. From an edition of 12 Image size ⋅ 80cm H x 80cm W . Stellify / TWO builds on the first series, but adds a more wildstyle feel to the topography. I’ve never pursued a wildstyle way of working, but this drawing felt as though it had its own pre ordained direction for travel, so I went with it. There’s always an interesting tension between working with a piece and working against it. I tend to think the best pieces are the ones that resolve without too much argument, but the ones that cause real friction are always good to work on too, if only because they always take you into unexpected territory. For Stellify / TWO I wanted to resolve the central core with an overt nod to pixelation, perhaps in part a small nod to April Greiman's seminal work. A laser cut secondary rectangle would separate the core from the outer, whilst the outer study would conform more closely to the original Stellify drawings. I’m keen to explore the idea of cutting square forms into the heart of the works; I think it makes for a really interesting new way of deconstructing the drawings and is something that I’m going to pursue. There’s a flower form here too of course, albeit a highly abstracted one, which is perhaps why the palette led naturally towards pinks and greens, or maybe that was just a by product of the time of year. I’m increasingly a fan of celebrating seasonality in the process, to reflect something of what’s going on around me in the garden, an idea that is often more overtly in the mix with my Experimental Print Club pieces.
