It Came from the Deep

Top to bottom: Christin Ripley, Gretchen Shermerhorn, Elizabeth Graeber, Maria Rykova, Nora Burghardt and Lynette Spencer

Pyramid's spring print exchange In the Forest & It Came from the Deep included 6 that utilized screen printing. Resident artist Christin Ripley created a feeling wheel on handmade paper, complete with a hand tied sailor's knot and moveable pointer. Artistic director Gretchen Shermerhorn started with etching on aluminum plates, which ended up being the prints themselves. Screenprinting was the obvious choice to add her white plant/sea creature. Elizabeth Graeber's underwater whale was printed in 5 colors. Interns Nora Burghardt and Maria Rykova both learned the process from executive director Jose Dominguez and entered prints. Lynette Spencer touched on a twin theme with her 4 color Incomrehensible Connection. The 13 print folio came housed in a handmade clam shell box printed with, what else? Screenprinting.
