Thank you Richard for that segment. I would also like to bring into view of our given (exchange) mutual audience that there will be a print show at the garage gallery on the 8th of November at 7pm. The focus is as follows:
Monoprints from the screen for sale! We wanted to give you some insight on how these prints were realized.

The artists featured in this exhibition have one thing in common; they have never screen printed on an open screen. (open screen: a format established within a traditional screen printing frame, be it rectangle, square, oval, etc., that one draws, paints directly with inks or acrylics directly into, resulting in a direct, positive of said activity within the screen.) The artists had all, at some point, played with screen printing within their development, but none had this kind of experience. Leslie Shaw was left totally depressed after the first session, a graphic artist during the daylight hours, and an artist at night over wine. Fabio, a mad Italian who visited the print center who spoke no english was left a slumping hulk on a couch after two sessions. Ed Gunn stayed up three days and nights, nerved out in cigarettes and coffee. Bill Clements managed to get himself evicted from his apartment while trying to deal with the process. Linda Larsen, a fine painter, never printed again. The experience led to a dark and dismal hole, a miscalculation, if you will. The artists that were a part of this experience never graced the threshold of the print shop again. Never came to claim their work and were never heard of again. Last we heard most of them seeked out addictions or counseling.

Of course this speaks or beckons to a point of painting and the void. The evidence of anxiety help shape the experience.

Hope you folks can make it; you too Richard..
