Trial proof edition of 27, each unique
Silkscreen print in a unique colour way, presented in a hand made, hand painted frame created by the artist.
Rodney created 27 unique trial proofs whilst working with Durham Press in 1990, each work also has a unique title. He tells us:
"I don’t remember how it came about, but we decided to make an experiment using the same screens over and over and try to make different color combinations for each print. We didn’t have an edition size in mind. I guess they had a lot of faith in my ability to work with color. It was a long day!
At first I went though my usual palette of brights, then I had to start thinking more thematically - silver plated, precious gold, mysterious night, St.Valentines Day, etc. There were some mess-ups but we ended up with 27 different prints.
To make them even more sculptural I designed and hand painted all the frames."
Hand signed, numbered and titled in pencil.
