Sometimes I have a dream that if a word gets too hot and too appealing, it will boil apart, and I won’t be able to read or think of it. Usually I catch them before they get too hot.” Split fountain is a silk-screening technique in which several colors are used in a single run to create a gradation of blended colors. |
