Kiss
This is an ode to queer love. Spring 2006:
rebirth, a shedding of skin, donning a new costume, and
carving a new mask to show future possibility of a love that is
practiced with peace and honesty.
In this moment, I am fascinated with homemade
printmaking techniques. I want to steal the digital image from
the flickering computer screen and print it with homemade "technology."
With this image, I limited my colors and paid close attention to
my lines. I wanted to make sure it was reproducible and wouldn’t
lose its impact when inked onto paper/fabric/etc.
