Refreshing Lemons

This art piece began as a mono-print using a process called decalcomania. This means that pigment was compressed between two surfaces and then separated. To do the separation on this piece I used a sheet of plexiglass with holes drilled randomly in it and bamboo skewers. The skewers are pushed through the holes, lifting the paper off the plexiglass surface. The result created the lemons that are splashing into the cool blue water.
