frottage

by jwc 3o2

in the late 197os, Richard Truhlar made a series of concrete pieces called "Media". they were newspaper frottages on wood that'd been manipulated further with pencil & eraser & inked over besides; quite beautiful & strange. the frottage technique in particular i found quite fascinating & noodled around a bit with it to see how it worked.
shortly thereafter, the tiny "CRIMINALS" graphics series began, mutating eventually into a series of large-scale (comparative to the 1 x 1-1/2 orso works on card) stencilprints, "the UNWANTEDs". these're some of the other graphics along the way.
