Chinoiserie Bird Study /  by kelly heaton

“Chinoiserie Bird Study,” 2020. A series of three artist-made screen prints on canvas with acrylic, foil, and fretwork. 38” H x 23” wide (unframed - works will be custom framed by the artist).

I have been steadily developing my printmaking technique and chinoiserie aesthetic in preparation for a new series of botanical circuit boards. In these studies, I explored screen printing on canvas combined with a thick acrylic stencil application, metal foiling, and wooden fretwork.

Connect, lovers! The mind is our most powerful erogenous zone. Overcome interpersonal differences with respect. Honor the energy that binds us together in unity. We are leaving Gemini season and entering emotional Cancer at a time of massive astrological upheaval - a crucible for personal transformation and new growth. Let this time of social distancing bring us closer in emotional intimacy.

I’m almost finished with my screen print series, “Perroquets d’or et d’ombre,” a French-inspired scene of two lovebirds in an electronic cage. I’m passionate about making the most beautiful circuit boards in the world — to elevate printed electronics to a fine art form. Here I pull a layer of gooey and gold ink (solvent-based, hence the mask). The 19 prints in this series are all unique and hand-screened by yours truly. Each one has between 18 and 25 ink layers, plus hand-painted details and metallic foil. Available soon - stay tuned for images and message me if you’re interested to collect one.
