Railings and Handrails- more prints

 

After the initial one-off print for a friend, I have decided to create an edition of six for the PRINT NOW open submission. 

Railings and Handrails is a two-layered screen print onto paper. The print is both a compilation and interpretation of authentic street furniture from the city of London, and part of a larger study of historic, architectural sites, showing their development through time. The work is essentially ambiguous since there are no steps and the handrails offer no clear route. This reflects the disconnected and conflicted experience of life in the metropolis. There are six prints in this edition, all uniquely coloured.
