Prismacolor Pen Print, diptych
complete set of 156 Prismacolor Markers (arranged following manufacturer’s numbered color chart) held within inverted glasses, one ream of 25” x 38” uncoated, 40 lb. paper, divided into two stacks
This work is adapted from Pantone Pen Print a 2006 edition of a total of 73 prints using a full set of Pantone markers. Over the course of the exhibition the paper will absorb all the ink from the pens, the sheets near the top of stack soaking up more ink than those further away from the tips. The result is an edition of organically related prints, each unique.
At the end of the show the pens will be removed from the paper and the sheets counted. The edition number and price of the each diptych is determined and equal to the number of layers the ink penetrates. Eg. If the ink soaks through 25 layers, each of the 25 diptychs are sold for $25 / If the ink soaks through 100 layers each of the 100 diptychs are sold for $100. The number of prints for sale is unknown, and is limited to the number that the process yields. Once the layers have been counted the price will be announced. All diptychs will be sold for the same amount.
If you are interested in purchasing please email your name and details to the gallery. Prints are sold on a first come first served bases, the first people to reserve will receive the prints closest to the top of the stack. Each diptych is sold unseen.
