Shapeshift Baby Shapeshift Giclée Print (unframed)
Shapeshift Baby Shapeshift Giclée Print (unframed)
Shapeshift Baby Shapeshift is a tiny pastel and acrylic work that arrived as thick and sudden as a slug after rain. I wanted to capture the movement and the transformation of slug bodies in quick, shapeshifting lines. I think sticky oil pastel particularly suits the slug body: it is viscous, and shapeshifting, just like the slugs.
The title comes from a line in my book SLUGS: a Manifesto.
This work forms part of my series slugspaceslug: a series of small works on paper and card made in crip time, during a period of winter hibernation. Each piece explores the physics of becoming slug-like: slugs bend into strange and unusual places, or spill over into spaces in which they don't belong.
About the printing process:
Giclée printing is often used for fine art reproductions due to its high quality precision and detail. Digital scans of the artworks are sprayed onto archival quality paper with high pigment ink, capturing the essence of the original artwork with vibrant colors and incredible detail.
Shapeshift baby shapeshift looks great in giclée as it captures every scratch and overlap of the pastel work.
