Eight is a collection of prints taken from a portfolio of twenty-four inch “kwik print” monoprints made in 1975. The process itself was one of addition and subtraction of photo-sensitive colored pigment on vinyl, similar to bi-chromate prints done at the turn of the century, but much more forgiving in their latitude and longevity. I used the circle image because of its visual stability and strength and because it is a constant reminder of the female form. The women’s liberation movement of the 60’s and 70’s was still echoing in my mind at the time, and I wanted to make a statement about how I felt about these women in particular and women in general. Book comes with a 19x13 (special edition ) photograph. Contact www.degrand.com to receive your print.
