‘Absent Minded’, ‘Antares & Love IV’, ‘Daydream’, and ‘Mono’ are a set of four silkscreen prints on paper with glosses, glazes, diamond dust, Swarovski crystal stud, mirror board, under-colour blend, and collaged elements. These prints can either be purchased as a set or individually. Printed at Coriander Studio, published by CCA Galleries.
In producing silkscreen prints with CCA Galleries and Coriander, Webb was able to stay true to the collaged, hand-made approach by cutting and pasting the prints, and also incorporating gold and silver leaf, mirrored papers, diamond dust and glazes. His intention was to “reinvent the original works as high quality, multi-layered silkscreened collages; refining and embellishing the ideas behind the pieces during the process”. Each collage explores ideas of loss, romance, and nostalgia by removing the male protagonist from view. In ‘Mono’, only the male’s beady eye is visible, peering uneasily at his female counterpart through his monocle. ‘Absent Minded’ leaves the viewer to fill in the void with a simple cut out treatment applied to the missing figure. The day and night sky silhouettes of ‘Daydream’ and ‘Antares and Love IV’ touch on enigmatic and imagined realities which are revealed behind the surface.
