Salton Sea Monk Monotype Print

I love visiting the Salton Sea. It is such a strange beautiful wasteland. Some of the photography used in this piece was shot there. When I think of inland desert "seas" I think of the little brine shrimp "sea monkeys" I had when I was a kid. They are fascinating. For one they can see more colors than we do. For me this is a portrait of a sea monkey kind of creature. I'm guessing it must be the mayor of the Salton Sea. It is kind of creepy to me in a delightful way. Because everything is rusty at the salton sea I included some. This image transfer technique is labor intensive. You have to rub all of the paper off to reveal the ink stuck to it. You get everything wet to help and I chose a rusty table to do the work. I let it stain the mulberry paper to add to the strange relic quality of the image. For me it looks like an artifact from another world and it is! It's from the Salton Sea. I usually sign all of my work on the back so it doesn't distract from the piece. If anyone requests I sign on the front I am open to it. M8re
