Collection of Michael Lebredt
Lebredt printed this work along with untitled (park bench) and untitled (gargoyle) within weeks of one another at the Grand Western Canadian Screen Shop. All three prints are glazed here for the first time as Lebredt originally intended. The dark acrylic sheeting was an early attempt by Lebredt to remind the viewer that darkness or opacity is the condition for the experience of light; for example when, in its welling up, it happens to meet and envelop the eye from the inky depths of a mere image.
