| Canterbury Cathedral |
| |
| On my trip
to Europe after college, I was surprised and pleased to be landing in
the United Kingdom so close to Canterbury Cathedral. It
was the first real cathedral I had ever been in. The oddness was that
there were modern chairs everywhere, which would not have been there
when the cathedral had originally been completed. People stood or sat on
the floor in those days. My how soft we’ve become! I ruined at least
two screens working on this print. The legs of the chairs were created
using scotch tape masks cut with scotch tape directly on the screen. I
remember holding my breath until the border was printed. Also, the floor
was the same stone as the walls, but aesthetically for the print, it had
to be changes. The heavy velvet cover on the altar was originally an
ochre color, but I wanted to use the color of royalty in remembrance of
our Lord, the King of the Jews. If you look very closely at the vase,
you will see that it contains 3 flowers. Each of these flowers had its
own screen and is printed in a unique color not found anywhere else in
the print. Several years after its printing, I was standing to one side
of the print and noticed I was standing, nonetheless, in the middle of
the aisle. I moved to the other side of the room and found the same to
be true. This was completely unintentional, but there seems to be some
magic in my work that I can’t always explain how it got there. Try it
for yourself and have a little bit of fun on me today! |
