ARTIST OF THE MONTH

The DIGILABS is proud to present. . . .Shannon Slattery!
Our November artist of the month (we got a head start because we are so excited to share her work with you). Shannon's monotypes are incredibly layered and luminous, referencing alchemy and astronomy, science and art. View her portfolio here.
"My primary medium is monotype, a print making method in which only one print is created at a time. I combine this with additional methods such as lithography, drypoint and collograph. Each print is an original, part of a series and grouped around a central theme or image.
The
Steampunk prints are created from bits and pieces of cool looking stuff I found from researching antique scientific instruments, gears and old machinery and alchemy. The drawings are both hand drawn and manipulated on the computer. Then it is back to the archaic printmaking process, using oil based inks and a large heavy mechanical hand cranked printing press and the final print is created. "
