Abstract Art
This page contains thumbnails of screenprints and linocuts that Bill considers to be his Abstract Art. Although most of Bill’s prints are representational, he likes the freedom to capture concepts and impressions rather than depicting reality. “Industrialization”, for example, places the flags of industrialized countries against a background of the remnants of a sheet metal punch press operation. “Pendennis Steps”, on the other hand, captures the abstract patterns generated within the spiral staircase within Pendennis Castle in Cornwall England.
A number Bill’s abstract prints are from his Displacement Series. Displacement prints are made by using a single stencil, and repeatedly printing the stencil on the edition paper. The paper location or the color (or both) are changed slightly between printings. The results are often rich and elegant to look at.
Clicking on any of the thumbnails will take you directly to the specific information about that particular print.
