Many of Birchfield's pieces offer a textural accounting of some unknown passage of time or moment of destruction. Through the slow, layered application of screen printing inks, the process of constructing these images felt akin to a rebuilding.
For this series there is an incremental move from lightness to darkness across the trio of designs. Two of the prints are on white paper while one builds its imagery up on top of black paper. We used numerous layers of subtly shifting metallic inks to capture the rich, slightly iridescent surface of Birchfield’s silver gelatine photograms.
UV-filtering plexiglass is used for all frames, an option that has become the industry standard. Plexiglass is lighter, scratch-resistant & shatter-resistant (essential for shipping). It also provides more UV protection and less glare than glass.
