Corita Kent, handle with care, 1967
& Chevrolet newspaper ad, 1966

We’re celebrating Corita Art Center’s new home by sharing some of our latest Corita arrivals. This piece borrowed an advertising catchphrase and gave it a new (religious) meaning by enlarging and distorting the headline for a screen print.

Last year I made my first positives by hand for this print, Upturned Boats, by cutting paper, painting it black and glueing it onto transparent sheets of polyester. I also drew in pencil and pen and made black brush strokes with an old brush.

Here's one of my favourite prints from a few years ago, Between Tides. It's based on Mousehole harbour wall.

It's a five colour screenprint, all hand printed by me. Here's a link to a video of me printing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gtT5mnCi_I

Four years ago I made this Boat House print. Four years! It doesn't feel like it.

With these coastal paths prints I started to explore texture and using scraped ink (which you can see in the cliffs).

Exactly a year ago I completed these three Leaping Animal prints including stags, foxes and hares.

They are each two colour screenprints.

Here's the finished St. Ives print. I actually got a few good ones!

I need to work out if I need to print any more.

I made this installation artwork a couple of years ago as a response to something the government did, but really, it can be used for everything any government does.
