Special Edition - Doug and Mike Starn

Special Editions: The Starn Twins

Greetings collectors and welcome to Starn Twins for 20x200: The Sequel. This is a special bonus edition, coming hot on the heels of last week's Blind Spot benefit edition.

Structure of Thought 6a is printed on translucent vellum and is a beautiful print on its own, so if you didn't get the first one, don't hesitate to click through and grab a print. And of course, it can be layered over Structure of Thought 6b. I sat in the studio with Mike and Doug and we experimented with the proofs, trying to decide the best way to layer them effectively. The objective is twofold: creating a little space between the two layers allows the light to move through the vellum, illuminating the lower print, and when the vellum is suspended it also creates some ripples in the paper, mimicking the texture of their works done on varnished papers. We came up with two solutions:

- The nothing fancy solution: Small plain tacks set in a bit from the corners of the bottom layer.

- The somewhat fancier pro-framer solution. Your framer can use archival paper hinges to affix the vellum layer to the cotton rag layer, creating the same effect as if by magic. (Since the hinges won't be visible.)

Are you still reading this?! Come back and finish up later, this edition is sure to sell out quickly so go ahead and buy one now

I'll be back on Tuesday and Wednesday with regular fine art and photography editions. See you then!

A few words about this edition:

- It's only available in the $20 and $2000 sizes.

- Purchases are limited to one print of each edition per collector and/or mailing address. We reserve the right to refund purchases if we determine that a single collector has acquired multiple prints.

- It's not going to ship right away. We expect to be able to ship it well within two weeks, which is not our usual speedy standard. (It's worth the wait, promise!)

- While you can layer this with our previous Starn edition, each edition is a separate piece. You don't need one to complete the other. And there is no guarantee that people who bought the first will receive the second.

- All prints are sold on a first come, first serve basis.

- We cannot combine shipping with this edition. Our apologies!
