Narsiso Martinez

Suite of 3 images from Ghost Portrait series

2023

Narsiso Martinez's Ghost Portrait series employs ghost lino cut printing, a technique that creates ethereal, translucent imagery on matte Duralar film. The three image suite is mounted on a collaged ground composed of produce labels and watercolor paper, layering commercial and fine art materials to create visual and conceptual complexity. This mixed media approach combines printmaking, collage, and found materials to explore themes of identity, presence, and absence suggested by the "ghost" imagery.
