About This Work
"CMYK" explores the fundamental building blocks of color printing through a contemporary lens. This screen print investigation into process colors—Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black)—demonstrates how traditional printmaking techniques can be used to examine modern printing concepts.
The work deconstructs and reconstructs visual imagery through the systematic application of each color layer, revealing the hidden mechanics of color reproduction. Each layer tells its own story while contributing to the unified whole, creating a meditation on perception and technical process.
By isolating and emphasizing each color component, the piece invites viewers to consider how we construct visual reality and the artistic potential within seemingly technical processes.
