Introduction
The interaction between man and the environment is of growing concern as the human population is accelerating towards 9 billion.
Our existential need for food, clothing, shelter, minerals and energy has placed enormous pressure on the biosphere via de-forestation and de-habitation on a grand scale, thereby destroying the natural carbon sinks (such as flora) and at the same time, creating greenhouse gas sources, causing an unprecedented anthropogenic change of the Earth’s atmosphere. The philosophy underlying my ‘Environmental Art’ strives to prick the viewer’s consciousness to garner support for sustainability.
The works on paper in this blog post, ‘Vine Glow’, rest on the premise that native plant species are fragile in the modern world and are a threatened biological resource.
Background to the Creation of the Digitally Designed Printed Series – ‘Vine Glow’
I have been designing and creating imagery for my hand printed works on paper using a range of traditional, improvisational and signature printing techniques for more than three decades now. Examples of these techniques include collographs, etchings, stamping, stencilling, mono printing, traditional screen printing, improvisational screen printing and my own signature screen printing techniques which I have termed, matrix formatting, multiplexing and low relief screen printing. In addition to these techniques, I have been experimenting with hand printing techniques using disperse dyes on synthetic/polyester fabrics for more than two decades. These experiments have led to one of my signature techniques that I have developed and termed - 'MultiSperse Dye Sublimation (MSDS).' The MSDS technique employs disperse dyes and involves hand printing multiple resists and multiple overprinted layers employing numerous color plates and low relief plant materials. The completed works are rich in color, light, shade, contrast, movement and depth. The multiple layers also imbue a painterly aesthetic and textural, three-dimensional quality to the finished ArtCloth works. Each print is unique and cannot be replicated.
As a professional senior graphic designer/illustrator in a previous career, I have always had an interest in creating imagery, prints, illustrations, posters and publications using digital processes. This interest has led me to some fascinating explorations in the field of digitally created works on paper and textiles. This post focuses on my new digitally designed prints on paper series - ‘Vine Glow’.
‘Vine Glow’ - A New Series/Edition of Digitally Designed Prints on Paper
The ‘Vine Glow’ series/edition of digitally designed prints on paper have been based on one of my personal and unique prints on cloth which employs my signature MSDS technique. The imagery was scanned and digitally reworked in Photoshop to create a superb complimentary colorways suite. The colors have been sensitively and painstakingly created to encompass the mysterious, deeply rich, abstract vine shapes with vivid hues.
These deconstructed, contemporary, botanically influenced images have been intentionally designed to give the illusion of an aesthetic ‘glow’ and portray another world view of our beautiful fragile flora in sumptuous, rich colour ! Additional digital techniques have been employed to create imagery that contains depth and a luminous quality to the printed works.
There are four sets of prints in the ‘Vine Glow’ series namely:
‘Vine Glow I’;
‘Vine Glow II’;
‘Vine Glow III’;
‘Vine Glow IV’.
Each set consists of a limited edition of three signed prints throughout the series, eg. 1/3, 2/3, 3/3. Each printed image is 15.7 cm wide x 15.7 cm high and is printed on archival white inkjet paper stock measuring 21 cm wide x 30 cm high (A4 size).
Please email me at - - Marie-Therese - for more information or if you are interested in purchasing any of the prints for yourself or a friend!
Hope you enjoy the prints!
