Two young girls are working on creating art projects in an art studio, focusing on a large piece of artwork that features a rainbow-colored outline. One girl is drawing on the artwork with a marker while the other is observing. The room is filled with art supplies and materials.

Based on a collage by Angela Pilgrim, this variable edition employs both double exposure and split fountain techniques. Over the course of a few sessions, Pilgrim brought and exposed materials from her studio along with local soil, synthetic hair, and cheesecloth onto screens. These were printed onto and within colorblocks around a portrait of the artist.

Each print is unique due to multiple colors being printed at once in the blue-violet and yellow-orange layers (split fountain). Additionally, Pilgrim painted color onto the screen transferring painterly marks which trailed off and transformed successive prints. A final transparent metallic silver flattens and bridges the divide between photography and handmade.

About the Edition

In March 2025, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Du-Good Press, the first Black woman-owned fine art screen printing studio in New York, founded by master printer Leslie Diuguid. Over the course of the month, we developed a variable edition that merged experimental process with personal materials from my studio practice.

Working with Leslie was deeply meaningful—not just as a fellow Black woman in print, but as someone with an exceptional eye for technical precision and innovation. Her command of experimental techniques like double exposure and the ability to burn found materials directly onto screens allowed this print to evolve in ways I hadn’t imagined. The print debuted at the Brooklyn Print Fair to an enthusiastic audience, and the collaboration stands as a highlight in my practice—an offering rooted in experimentation, shared vision, and legacy-building through print. —Angela P.
