Going Abroad (from the Waves II series)

1989

Going Abroad from the Waves II series combines multiple printmaking techniques including screenprint, lithograph, and etching with added collaged paper elements. Created in 1989, this work exemplifies Stella's experimental approach to mixing traditional and contemporary methods. The layering of different printing processes creates rich color variations and textural complexity. The collaged paper components add dimensionality and visual interest to the composition. This piece represents Stella's continued exploration of abstract forms and chromatic intensity.

Medium
screenprint, lithograph and etching in colors with collaged paper
