My hybrid optical art printmaking process can be used to create either animated graphics or three-dimensional imagery. Multiple images are screened and interlaced creating a pattern of very fine alternating lines.

The screened images are used to create a matrix film sheet. An acrylic lens screen is aligned to the film sheet using an optical bench I developed for this process. The film/screen sandwich is permanently bonded together using an optically clear adhesive.

The art is mounted, matted and framed using traditional techniques. From start to finish, each piece takes about three days to make. The art is produced in numbered editions and each piece is hand crafted by me from my original photography.
