Special Thank You to Crescent Paper!
5/2/2012

Crescent Artists

Crescent Artists has generously offered to contribute some rolls of Graffiti Paper to Psychic Excavation!

Psychic Excavation is a series of large scale multi-layered paintings on paper that will be installed outside at the Art Lot in Red Hook, Brooklyn from September - December. 

When working with this process for the first time last spring (jescannon.com/projects) it was hard to find a material that would absorb many layers of paint while still being light enough and porous enough to be adhered to a concrete wall. 

The Graffiti Paper from Crescent was able to strike that difficult balance, withstanding months of weathering while also maintaining the delicate qualities of paper.

Images of the new works in process coming soon...

Many Thanks to Crescent Papers for their support!

+ Thanks again to Brooklyn Arts Council for funding Psychic Excavation through a Community Arts Fund Grant.
