Comment: Dwight Coburn and I met when he was a student at the UW, Seattle. After college he established a lithography printing studio for himself and he printed for other artists. He was always an artist of many talents and every medium - including video of late. His website is www.dwightcoburn.com.

Cyanotype 1981 Poster
Provenance: Six-color offset lithograph. Tones of blue, overprinted with transparent gloss yellow process PMS inks on white 165 lb Warren Patina pH Neutral paper. 40 X 24 3/4
in.
Comment: Alhough this poster was printed by offset litho, we made the plates from hand drawn masters. To create the blended colors I worked with the plate maker and printer plus I mixed the inks. Three sources make the image: A map of the Colorado River, a leaf-like diagram I used for computer animation and the famous woodblock print by Hokusai titled The Great Wave . . . I was influenced by cartography, computer technology and Japanese culture and also names of my family and Triangle Studio mates.
