An Art Deco Explosion When I first moved to Portland it was November and we were subletting an apartment with little insulation nor finished flooring. The cold air seeped into every nook; every cranny touched by an almost Artic chill. One room was kept heated. Using reruns of Perry Mason as ambient noise, I painted and painted and painted. The time spent there was my most prolific. Constructing an entire series out of one word titles and beautiful women, I chose my favorites to be screenprinted. Eventually a few designs out of a large pile (piles are the measure of all things) were screenprinted onto tees, totes, aprons, prints, cards and journals. The title "Explosive" is both French and English. The style Art Deco but the fashion 1960s mod London.
