"See the truth, and you will see me."
12" x 16" Acrylic on gesso board. (SOLD)
This was done for an art show titled "Revolutionary". It was probably one of, if not, the calmest depiction of the theme at the show.

Thank you Bebe! The reflection is Thích Quảng Đức, the monk that burned himself to death in protest of the persecution of Buddhists by South Vietnam's Roman Catholic government. He sat himself in the lotus position, doused himself with gasoline and lit himself on fire. He never moved, never made a sound and stayed outwardly composed. To him and his fellow monks, it was an act of compassion for his fellow man.

just wandered over to peek at your stuff...gorgeous! I love that in the reflection I see a sitting yogi..not sure if you meant that but it adds a really nice depth and makes it more metaphorical

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
