Hand Printed Serigraphs:
Serigraphy is a term describing the silkscreen process when used for fine art rather than commercial purposes. The original prints are produced in an edition, limited in number as indicated in pencil below the image. The notation 1/100 means that this particular print is the first of 100 in the edition. By signing and numbering it, the artist is guaranteeing that there will never be more than 100 original serigraph prints of this design. There are different methods of producing a stencil for printing the serigraph. With the film method, a very thin lacquer soluble film on a transparent backing material is cut with an art knife to trim away the areas you wish to print, enabling the artist to do very small detail if desired. After cutting the stencil, one for each color of ink, the film adheres to the silk screen with fluid and the backing is removed. With another method, a negative block-out stencil is painted directly onto the screen. The stencil must be properly registered for placement with previous colors so that each color imprint will fall in the right place. This becomes more difficult as the number of colors in a print increases. When the color is mixed and the ink prepared to its proper consistency, the squeegee is “hand-pulled by the artist” across the screen, pushing the ink through the silk onto the paper. These original serigraph prints are produced and hand printed by Donna Catotti and Rob Goldberg in their studio on ’Arches Silkscreen 88, a 100% rag, neutral pH paper.
