This work exhibits shapes which are not bound by the rigid format of most printing techniques. Textures, brushwork and transparent glazing are layered to create a fluid style which is more characteristic of painting. Ida Kohlmeyer was a forunner in this experimental approach to silk-screen printmaking. The silk-screen is a medium which was developed largely in the 20th Century and came to the forefront in the pop culture of the 60's and 70's. In her early prints one sees the combination of early stenciling techniques, with loose and painterly brush work, transparent glazing and the technological advancements of light sensitive photographic emulsion that incorporate photography into the medium.
