Zebadiah Keneally, Printmaking, Senior, Syracuse University
The The serves to celebrate the beauty of the basic elements of printed communication. Created using simple, repetitive bookmaking techniques and a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color scheme-the primary colors of printed material-the work draws attention to vital elements from which rich complexities are achieved. The triangle shape of the work echoes its folds and provides a wealth of historical symbolism as well as visual complexities from shadows cast as The The hangs on a wall. However, it is not meant to be a didactic piece; the title has been chosen for its ambiguity, to allow one to interpret the work as is necessary and relevant. Created in 2007 in an edition of three.
