"Sea Ribbons was produced at the Women's Studio Workshop in Rosendale, New York, and in my home studio...[and] realizes my interests in creating an edition of artworks that is simultaneously imagery created in multiple, and one-of-a-kind. Rather than the traditional concept of an edition...this edition was created in two steps...the first step produced by the silkscreen process, created 100 like copies. The second, via painting and drawing media, though following a repeated format, has embodied the nuances of the media in process to make each copy a unique edition."-- Colophon.
