Charles Villiers reviews the print making and exquisit framing of his digital self portrait series before shipping them to Europe.
In 2004 I was asked to print a series of work by artist, and personal friend of mine, Charles Villiers. He was exploring digital image making and output in projection, web, and print. We went to great lengths, proofed in numerous art and photographic papers to make an archival print with color characteristics that would do the brightly colored images justice. The final prints were meticulously framed; mounted on a floating full bleed placard inside of a brilliant white matte and classic black frame.
The series was crated up and shipped to Europe for exhibition but were lost in transit. Eventually they did resurface and were shipped back to Vancouver Island, Canada. Charles had already been to London and returned to L.A. by the time that the recovered series was returned and has been in storage ever since. Now 5 years later – I have the opportunity to show these and selected works by Charles Churhill Villiers in my gallery here in Ucluelet, the show is currently in the planning stage – I’ll be posting some dates and info as things progress. Meanwhile, here’s a sneak peak at the recently rediscovered treasures…
