Microscopic Universe

Set of Five Acrylic Prints titled - Microscopic Universe by Sue Simon
Artist
Sue Simon

The set of five acrylic prints entitled Microscopic Universe are monotypes. A monotype is a kind of print with an edition of one. Acrylic paint was applied to a piece of glass and a damp sheet of print paper was carefully laid on top of the glass. The back of the paper was rubbed to pick-up the paint on the glass. When the paper is peeled off the glass the result is a monotype. In the case of the Microscopic Universe monotypes, Simon used other pieces of monotype as collage and added scientific drawings in ink. All of the works were commissioned by the University of Colorado Denver at Anschutz Medical Campus.
