...Directly across from this sculpture, an enormous charcoal-on-paper piece utilizes traditional sketching and shadowing techniques to capture the versatility of human movement within the artistic confines of a linear plane. A few steps down the corridor reveal equally fascinating creations, from faces with penetrating expressions illuminated against silkscreen backdrops to eight colorful digital animations looping on a video projector. One of the standouts is “Do Rivers” by David L. Rice ’10—a black pen on white scroll paper creation that utilized modern animation techniques to convey what Rice...

The more colors a print has, the more screens are needed (a Louis Vuitton scarf covered in tiny flowers requires 24). There is now also the more compact and modern inject-printing system, in which the image is printed directly from the computer.

Here starfish bloomed, dolphins danced and seabirds swooped in an imaginary lagoon, eventually finding their perfect expression in the floating fabrics of his late, great silkscreen panels of Oceania, which can be seen at the National Gallery of Australia.
