David Bellingham, 2012
The chance discovery of a set of printers proofs, from a
Duckworth and Co.
Essences Ltd calendar of 1912, in Rare and Racy second hand
bookshop in Sheffield,
provided the source images for the print Cyan Magenta Lemon
Black. As a lemon ripens
it changes colour from green to yellow, here the standard
coloured inks of the four
colour printing process echo this transit. Layers of ink -
cyan magenta yellow black,
are equated with the layers of a lemon - rind pith pulp
juice. Yellow becomes lemon,
juice becomes ink.
The print comes in a standard signed and numbered edition of
30 copies (33.8 x40.5cm) and as a folded concertina in a signed and numbered
edition of 100.
It was printed in four colour letterpress by Glasgow
Press
Both the print and the concertina are available to purchase
from the Ingleby Gallery, Edinburgh
