This is extraordinary. Who designed and cut the stencils? It is genius to be able to break down the image into so many developmental layers...wow

Thanks! The stencils were converted from Chuck Close's original linocut by Shannon Kelley and Ruth Lingen. I worked with them for 4 summers and I still don't get how they do it.

Very cool. Makes me want to try something similar, but probably a lot less ambitious.

This video shows in a few minutes the 6hr process of stenciling a Chuck Close print. Whether you are an expert in printmaking or have no idea, this shows why I love artists: we do the work because it is important to do it and do it right.
