“Northern Lights” — monoprint: new work David M. Versluis ©2015
10" w x 13" h
Three-color monoprint

This is one of a series of 10 monoprints printed from Plexiglas plates using an inked roller and dab technique. The effect is painterly and structural where the pigment is embedded into the paper fibers. This results in an image indicating the integrability of medium and message.

“Material Steps” — a hand cut and paste photographic collage Material Steps
David M. Versluis © 2015
16" w x 20" h

Material Steps comprises hand-cut and paste collage techniques made from various RC paper photographs taken earlier this year by Versluis. The collage combines gray and hot pink spray paint with other markings using lithographic crayon. All the elements are mounted to illustration board.

This piece reconsiders the metaphor of the ladder not as steps to heaven, but as doorsteps signifying the material and substance of our place on earth. Through the playful act the conventional photographic film images have been sliced into segments that are carefully reorganized to imply an informal structuring. The composition seems to imply a kind of evocative ambiguity.  In other words, does the repositioned hand railing symbolize a broken ladder or molecular model?
