Trilobite

The rock formations surrounding Red Rocks Amphitheater, near Denver served as the inspiration for a series of clay monoprints. The rich red color of the rocks, the angular upthrusts of the massive slabs and the wealth of fossils found in the formations seem to be exposing the secrets of the very heart of the earth. Clay monoprints are made by painting, stenciling and drizzling colored clay slips onto a flat slab of clay. The one-of-a-kind prints are made by working a thin layer of clay into the fibers of fabric or rice paper. The print is 18.5"x26" on pellon. It is available framed for $550.
