Throughout the month I’ve featured the book art work of\u00a0Sarah McDermott<\/a>, but she\u00a0also works as a talented printer. This past winter, Sarah created these screenprints that will hopefully be part of a larger series. Sarah has been able to improve her method of registration using the pin and tab system, which she learned from Dennis O’Neil’s experimental screenprint class at Corcoran.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I really love these prints and I’m so glad Sarah shared them with me. I do hope they become part of a larger series because I’m curious to see where these limbs (or perhaps other body parts) appear next.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can see more of her print work here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
