trio, in yellow

A lot of the time when I make a print I sort of make up the piece as I go along (which is probably self-evident). This one began when I used a very, very unusable print and cut out some circles to paint over. Then I used a gel plate that had junk stuck on it from previous failed prints. And while “abstract art” is likely to be a preposterous claim, I feel confident that this is abstract, at least.
