Description
Gallery 16 is pleased to present the culmination of a year's work. Darren Waterston, in collaboration with Gallery 16 Editions, present The Flowering (The Fourfold Sense), a portfolio of thirteen original prints by Waterston, with original texts by writer and literary critic Tyrus Miller, exploring the senses and bodily experiences of Saint Francis of Assisi. The colorful images employ traditional and contemporary print forms including relief printing and digital pigment printing, as well as hand coloring by the artist. The title of the portfolio, The Flowering, alludes to the Fioretti, (The Little Flowers), a medieval anthology of stories about Saint Francis of Assisi and his followers, which emphasizes the fantastic, the miraculous, and the sensational aspects of the saint's life. The portfolio of prints and letterpress broadsides by Tyrus Miller feature vividly sensuous descriptions of Franciscan ordeals and miraculous cures.
