New Demands?
2016
Screen prints and risograph prints, each in an edition of 10
11x17 each (unframed), installation dimensions variable

From the series New Demands? (2011-2023)
Solo exhibition at Spudnik Press Cooperative

These 20 prints are based on broadsheets, flyers, posters, and advertising created by the International Ladies Garment Workers’ Union between 1890 and 1982. I digitally recreated these archival materials in Photoshop and Illustrator, and then hand screen printed them, or created risograph prints. I attempted to reproduce the original language, typography, and designs of their corresponding original materials as closely as possible given the passing of time, and corresponding shifts in design and print technologies.
