Label Textfrom KIA Traveling Exhibition text: McConnell uses a clever play-on-words in the title for this landscape. Serigraph, or silkscreen printing, is done from stencils stretched on silk over a simple wooden frame. A new stencil is required for each color, and the register is off enough here so each printing can be counted.
