Michael Riedel's *7* is a silkscreen on linen that reflects the artist's signature engagement with language, reproduction, and the circulation of information. The work transforms text-based or typographic source material into a layered printed surface, where the texture of the linen becomes an active element of the composition. Riedel's process-driven approach raises questions about authorship, repetition, and the systems through which meaning is produced and disseminated.
