'NOPE' Framed Monoprint by Will Martin

A hand-painted monoprint by Will Martin

 

This framed work is inspired by Will's 'Text Vases' which are executed in the moment, as the words and symbols occur, in electrical tape. This tape acts as a resist and is pealed off once it has been glazed to reveal the naked clay, before going into the kiln.

 

This resist method is used for his monoprints on paper, using electrical tape and black spray paint to expose the clay-coloured papers beneath.

 

Framed in a matt black aluminum frame.

Framed - A3
