| "I am fascinated with the brilliance of colors and the freedom
of working with dyes on silk, the intermingling of colors allow for startling
effects." |
Diane |
Working in her studio at home Diane first sketches her
idea on paper. After stretching the silk, treating it very much like a canvas,
she transfers her sketch to the silk using a wax resist called Gutta. She
"paints" with dyes on the silk using a brush, watercolor techniques, alcohol
and salt. "I must work quickly as the dye spreads, no mistakes, no
corrections." Steaming sets the color and completes the process. |
The silk is hand washed and dried and then pressed between
layers of clean newsprint in preparation for framing. |
A Giclee (pronounced Zhee-Clay) is a French phrase coined in the
17th Century. It refers to a technology brought forth by a machine called the
Iris. The support material, such as paper or canvas is carefully attached to a
spinning drum while infinitely small pixels of rich, vibrant archival inks are
sprayed at a very high speed. This renders an amazingly smooth and consistent
image, a Museum Quality Fine Art Reproduction.
A special UV protectant agent is applied that
provides an invisible top coat. It will not yellow and will resist cracking.
Each painting is inspected and goes through several quality control checks
before the artist gives her final approval and signs the Certificate of
Authenticity. |
