This is a new poster series based on 7 circles ranging from 1/2-inch to 4-inches printed in 2 colors, each color has 2 runs on the letterpress, for a total of 4 press runs. There are a total of 7 broadsides.
The organic play is determined on the press and each design is a different interaction. The colors are:
#1 Grape and Kiwi
#2 Kiwi and Blueberry
#3 Blueberry and Chocolate
#4 Chocolate and Watermelon#5 Watermelon and Cherry
#6 Cherry and Orange
#7 Orange and Lemon
7 degrees is a spin on the ideology of six degrees of separation, and that in our circular lives, we not only connect within one realm, but we have many different realms, the closer the realms are together, the easier they can interact (#1 and #2 will work together, but #1 and #4 will not work so well). The proper title rendering is 7 and the degree symbol (a small circle).
Each poster is about 8x13.5 (varies slightly due to deckle/rough edge), printed on Johnnot mould made cotton paper, signed and numbered by the artist by the deckle edge at the bottom [not shown in photo].
Please note that paper is a very soft off-white and to not blow out the paper texture detail, the photographs are slightly on the dark side. Also, do look at a close up view--the delicate impression on the soft paper is much more visible in the larger image view.
