'Clouds in My Coffee' by Alastair Keady 1400 x 1010mm screen monoprint diptych. Four and three layers respectively, on 290gsm Sirio Arancio and 250gsm black papers. Hand cut paper stencils used as masks for the monoprinted sections. Orange, black, rust brown, and gold. Edition of two unique pieces. About the Piece Following on from the formal studies of conjoining square and circular motifs in the ‘Module’ pieces. This piece is looser, more painterly, and has a defined compositional arrangement. It’s also considerably larger! The process is resolutely exploratory, somewhere in the crossover of print/painting/collage, embraces the consequent accidents and inconsistencies of the handmade, and allows a generous scale that brings the interplay of colour and tone to the fore. The title comes from the rusty brown semi-circle with lighter brush marks, and the fact that Carly Simon’s ‘You’re so vain’ was in my playlist, and head, while I was working on it.  About the Artist Alastair is a graphic design graduate of NCAD and the Royal College of Art. He’s worked as a designer, and design educator, for far too long to dwell on. Interested in process and materiality in printmaking, he’s previously worked in letterpress, but returned to screen printing in 2017. Often found devising an image-making technique, and then discovering ways to undermine, abuse, and subvert it. Loves a happy accident. Disinterested in rigorous adherence to consistency in a world of perfect reproduction. Which is convenient.
