Starting at YES, this silkscreen-based workshop will explore the potential of text to become image and image to become text – ever expanding the potential for symbols and signifiers to transform. Students will learn the basics of producing silkscreen prints with hand-cut and digital stencils. There will also be an emphasis on building transparent layers and variable editions of prints. We will share writing exercises that mutate images into text and back, developing unique ways of expressing the visual qualities of text and the literal qualities of imagery.
