Funny Money 2-8

By: Greg Gossel

Due to sizing, this RUN does not include a framing option.

"This edition was created at my studio in Minneapolis over a two week span in March/April of this year using Rives BFK heavyweight 250gsm paper. Each piece began with a hand-collaged base layer of vintage 1960-70’s era tabloids, creating a complex weathered surface. The collaged surface is then sanded & stained, and additional texture is added with spray enamel. Finally, each piece is hand-printed with a variety of spontaneous and planned silkscreen layers to create the finished artwork. I think my favorite part of this series is the collage layer, which creates a really interesting base surface, making each print completely unique from the next. While I’ve employed this technique throughout my career, it’s been some time since I’ve done so for a full print edition." - Greg Gossel
