419 Jackson Avenue Pre-Community Garden Billboard

Combined Print Media (digital print, woodcut, pronto plate lithography, monoprint, chin colle)

30" x 22-3/8"

“419 Jackson Avenue Pre-Community Garden Billboard” depicts a vacant lot and billboard littered with refuse including a pile of tires, chewed up couch, and an old spring mattress. The homeless man selling flowers in the “Carral Street Billboard” is also here. The billboard is composed of a monoprint depicting a small seedling growing out of the darkness. It hints at the possible future for this garbage laden rat infested lot. This print combines digital print, woodcut, pronto plate lithography, monoprint, and chin colle.
