75 Stones
1989
Not on view
The title of this print, 75 Stones, refers to the seventy-five outlines of variously sized stones scattered across the paper. The colors used in the print were matched to colors that were observed in the stones. 75 Stones was one of several print projects that used smoked paper. The printers smoked the paper by setting on fire several crumbled pieces of newspaper and then placing dampened paper on the fire to extinguish it. Because the paper was hand-smoked, each print has a different degree of background tone.Â
